The cries of a little girl
Heard by no one
A man on top of her
He holds a gun
Not mature yet
He hurts her badly
Though she screams
He continues… gladly
Terrorized and tormented
Throughout her life
Expecting the worst
So she grabs a knife
Only 13
She’s cutting her arms
Reaches 22
Continues her harms
That’s not all
She’s also a drinker
She abuses sex
She’s the heart wrecker
There is no more purpose in her life now
To others she will defile
She becomes what she hates the most
She becomes the pedophile

i really like your poem it was really good i hope you continue writing poems that was good. see yah. -
I know how you mean, this is kind of true of my ex boyfriend Karl, though in a different sense. He was victim to his uncle who was a member of the church who touched him and his cousins up and then he likes young females now and he's looked at youngish pornography. I said to him...
"you know how it is to be victim to someone like that"
"yes" cries, "It's horrible."
"then why wish it on someone else?"
"i don't... I really, I just... I don't know why I do it."
I went on to tell him he feels a lose of control no doubt, but that hurting someone younger wont help. That he needs help, but that's he's a good guy and all will be okay, that he shouldn't act out the way he was victimized as he knows how it feels and knows how terrible it can be. -
Wow, did I seriously not comment on this poem? I thought I did...

I've actually heard statistics that say that a lot of times, the abused can become the abuser. If only someone would just reach out and help to stop the cycle.
Anyway, this was a pretty good poem. I wish you would have gotten more descriptive, though. The whole thing is really vague. Yeah, she's been hurt, she drinks, cuts, etc., but what's the story behind it? I don't know, just seems plain to me.
Hope I make sense, lol.
Good luck in the contest
