I was hurt so long ago that I
don't even care to think about
all the years that have passed!
I was young when I was abused
only 5 or 6 but I remember it
like it was yesterday. The
pain the shame the guilt.
I was supposed to be safe
but it became a nightmare
and still do I live it!!!
In years to come I turned
to drugs to take the Pain
Away.
But even clean I still
have some of the nightmares
From that long ago time.
They say that time heals
all wounds.
But these wounds are still
quite fresh and tender.
Will you help me to heal???
Or must I go on as before???
Filled with pain, doubt ,and despair.

gosh, very powerfull indeed i must say. and thankyou for being able to share this with us.
There is help out there, and you can get through this.
take care and if you ever wana talk, im here xx -
i think this poem and thoughts were very well presented
it does seem. that the pain will get the best of us some times, and when you think it will get better some`thing else will pops up, I have always felt that our trials, as bad as they are they testamony, of what we can do to help some one else out that could be in the same situation, that has helped me more than i realized.

Sad,compelling work. I was touched by what you presented. At least you shared your feelings with us. I find this site a great source to vent. Thanks again.

Oh..this is such a profound and sad write. I and many others, including myself, can relate to this kind of pain. It does stay with you, and even more so if the feelings are not worked through with someone trusted. It is never too late to do this. Writing can be so healing, and you have done a great job in expressing your feelings on paper. Nice job! Blessings, Patty

I don't like to sleep much, but the memories always hurt the worst when your awake and cannot get away from them...You have poortrayed your pain from the past, so vividly and you have so much emotion in this piece as well.. well done..
Best of luck to you..

no child should be touched or harmed in any waya, yet it happens and to so many of us particular within poetry world. it makes permentant scars but we all help each other along. well done

no child should ever have to endure such terrible things such as abuse. time, thats all they say about our wounds healing. sometimes it takes more than time. it takes support from not only your friends but also others who have been down this road before.. writing it down, is a form of getting it out. slowly you will heal, but it will happen, times will be hard but don't give up.. there will be someone always there to help you when you need it.
this is great how you expressed your feelings.. remember just because we may forgive we never forget.

No child should have to endure what you did.
As you have seen, drugs didn't solve anything, made matters worse. You had another road block to over come. I'm glad you got yourself clean.
I know this had to be hard to write.
I am your friend I will be here whenever you need me.
