Dear family and friends
or anyone who would care
I'm probably wasting your time
But, I have things to share
Mother, I've done something wrong
What I believe is the biggest sin
I just don't know how to tell you
or where to even begin
It's my fault dad's in jail
I just had to lead him on
I'm guilty that he raped me
I'm guilty that he's gone
Dear sister, I have a fear
When I say this, please don't cry
I'm afraid that he'll get out
and I'll have to watch you die
So rather I'm up in heaven
or forced down below
There's one last thing I should tell you
One last thing you've got to know
That when you go through life,
Even though I may have died,
Live without any guilt at all
And please move on inside

I'm kristy ann
Me and my sister was raped for 7 years.
I feel guilty for starting it and sometimes I feel like I can't live with it no longer.
-btw I felt it unnecessary to say how I died because I thought it would take out the sadness.

this was a really good piece you could feel the emotion in it so readily . I dont know what else to say this was a strong powerful poem in my opinion

Wow! This is so sad and so powerful in the message that you send. Too many place the blame on themselves when the truth is they are not to blame one bit. I am so sorry for what you and your sister had to endure. This should not ever happen to any child, and it is overwhelming to think about how much it really does happen to so many innocent children. I wish you healing and peace inside. Blessings, Patty

Oh my god........ I'm so sorry for you, and if I could wrap my arms around you I would, so tight, and never let go.. .I hope you know that you have more worth than what he left you feeling, and you are loved.
