Who is this stranger that wanders beyond?
Staring aimlesely at the dark skies.
Your forceful ties have left me locked away,
Forever silenced in fear, unable to mutter the truth.
Forcing myself to escape my realities, finding remedies,
Anything so that I don't feel so numb and hollow.
No one ever took the time to listen when it mattered,
Now that I'm fucked up in the head they all want to help.
Where were you when I needed you to save me the most?
You were sending me back for more, stealing my innocence.
Beating me until I could no longer speak,
Leaving me on the floor, unable to fend him off.
You convinced me to believe all of your lies,
Led me to believe, I'm nothing but a failure.
I'll never be more than the unwanted disgrace,
The only girl available everynight for his sick pleasures.
I'm trying desperatly to ban him from my mind,
Still his disgusting smell and peverted face linger on.
With eyes wide shut you watched as he defiled me,
I'm no longer leaving the truth unspoken! YOU LOSE! I WIN! THE END!

E-motional
To me this is a very well penned poem and it helps alot when you write out how you feel and likewise post such stuff that happened to you. While I was reading this though I did se the methaphors you were talking about and I really liked how you incooperated it into your poem. its extremely sad you went through all this through-out your life but in the end only you can recover and piece back together the parts of your life that were missing from back then. Over all this is an extremely e-motional complicated yet well penned and worded nicely. In time I do hope that this is the beginning of yourself rebuilding a new life for you. Keep up the good work.
Signed, Paul

WOW! This poem sent a chill down my spine. I love free verse, and you definitely have a flare for it. Its hard writing a free verse that flows well, and yours just rolled off the tongue. The imagery was powerful, and the feelings of being alone, in pain, confused, and lost are all present. I am sorry to see that portions of this poem are personal, but you have take a horrible feeling/memory and made it chillingly beautiful! Fantastic!
