You judge me by these scars I have
Do you even know why they are here?
Have you ever been rxped or molexted?
Can you imagine the fear?
Have you ever cried out in the night;
been told "quiet so others can sleep"?
Have you ever had to hide away
while secretly and quietly you weep?
Have you ever been so afraid that
you could not even let out a scream?
have you ever been so discouraged
that you dare not even to dream?
Have you ever had to cause pain
but dare not hurt another?
Perhaps you would understand
had you been rxped by your brother

Quite a work of poetry Jennifer. What more can I say but I am sad by this. Thanks again.

Firstly; I'm extremely sorry to hear about your agonizing ordeal.
Secondly, this is a shocking and intense write, compounded and tied up by the end which left a burning impact on the reader. Raw emotion has been put into this, and I can tell because every line I read seemed to have a pulse, like it was living and breathing, and when the last, terrifying line was read, it was still there, black and beating. Due to this, I felt those emotions too, like I was reading over my own work, almost. It was an incredible experience, I love it when you find true talented poets that can take you on journeys and change your state of mind with their work.
Fantastic and compelling,
keep up the brilliant work.
Love and hugs,

Wow. This was a very powerful and meaningful poem. I was sexually abused when I was younger, so I can really relate to the subject. I love that you were able to rhyme, but that it does not at all sound forced. Excellent job, I will be looking to read more by you soon!
