Click
the camera took a picture
and then again
but with each click
he got closer
Laying me down on the bed
He was just playing right
Tears begin to flow
as his course hands
began to remove my clothes
don't do this to me
is all I could say
I wasn't close to strong enough
to fight him away
I never kept it a secret
but no one ever trusted me
they didn't believe he could do it
He's some kind of saint right?
When I saw his feet
below the crack of my door
I became a solid block of nothing
I knew he was coming for me.
Never did anyone beleive me
Until the day where we almost died
He was so close to taking the lives
of not just me
but my mother and my newborn son
Its taken time
and alot of tears
but I've found a way
to once again be alive inside
and not drown myself in tears
for that I have them to thank!
Author notes
This was very hard to write. After 4 years I thought I was healed but I guess not as i'm left here in tears... but i have come this far and if it wasn't for my children and my boyfriend I would have made it this far... Its very rough and it lingers for a long time... I know this isn't very poetic but its complete feelings

<3 you've come a long way...you're very strong for writing about this. hope you heal soon..

by embracing the pain
the healing begins as you embrace the pain and walk through the burning shame, many have gone before you. But it is a act of faith, the healing is in the telling of it. I am a survivor of physical and sexual abuse from my childhood and know the pain and fire of shame
Light and love

This is sad. I'm sorry that you had to go through this. But I'm proud of you for coming this far. If you can do that, you can surely go farther.

You wrote about it, that is healing in the process.

I am sorry for your pain and suffering. I know what you went through is a horrible thing. But know that you can overcome these feelings. It just takes time and very true love.
