Just a little child
Looking for acceptance
wanting to be liked
the truth was never told
not before this point
that boy
no older than 13
ugly
both inside and out
friend
doubt it
more of a foe
held forced to feel pain
just a child
no older than 7
the pain
and the memories
forced to taste it
forced to feel it
forced
tortured
for days
even weeks
never knowing what to do
pain
hurt
innocence lost
stolen
finally it stopped
thank the heavens
he stopped coming around
the pain went away
but the memories remained
now I'm older
smarter too
I know what he did to me
those memories
come back to haunt me
I became older
I became cold
insecure
untrusting
all because of him
and now I've become a little better
but not enough
cause what I became came at a price
the price of pain, lies, and theft
a price I wish I didn't have to pay

This really happened? Is it about getting rapped or about a bad decision at a young age? Either way this poem is really sad. The emotion was so strong and it made me want to cry. I love the poem, but I hate what it's about.
