Every time I blink.

Every time I blink

you rape me again

filling my nostrils with

your alcohol stench.

 

There were no pictures

on the milk catrons

the day you took the child from me.

When I look at those posters

of missing children,

I can see me in them all,

like little sisters of innocence

confirmed to the future of

can't forgets.

 

If low esteem

and lack of confidence

were mesured in footsteps

then I could walk for miles...

 

But don't be perturbed with

this negativity,

it's not to be mistaken for

vulnabilty,

that was the child in me

now I am an adult..

    WOW, I am still thinking about what to say with this one. I'm absolutely speechless. Anyway, good luck in the contest, I'm sure you'll do fine. But more than that, you have triumphed, and that says a lot about the amazingly strong nature of the character in this poem. Take care and keep smiling!!! All my best wishes, Cyn

    Wonderful message in this poem

    The last two verses are absolutely profound. Violated she was indeed, but the survival instinct comes to the fore and says confidently. I've risen above you now. You're no longer the strong one and I've got your number!

    I like the statement of strength in the last stanza.
    To be honest the first three make my blood boil.
