Erased from my memory,
Is a time where I was abused.
I never want to remember it,
Don't bring it up.
It's a time where I was alone,
Never cared about.
Shunned,
Afraid of those around me.
Do you know what that's like?
Always fearing those around you.
Never being able to be comfortable,
Around anyone in town,
Or school,
Or public gatherings.
I was told what happened,
To me by a family member,
It was unbelievable what I heard,
I never wanted to believe it.
But now I have no choice.
The tearing of the tissue,
And blood rushing fast,
It was all coming back to me.
Dear God,
Why did this happen to me?
Why couldn't this conclusion,
Stay away from me.
I do not hate the people,
Who kept this from me.
Namely my mother.
But I believe she was only,
Trying to protect me.
Because I was already depressed enough,
As it was.
I respect them from telling me,
What had happened,
But I don't agree that they should,
Have kept it from me for so long.
Author notes
This actually happened to me and please don't email me, don't message me. I don't want to talk about it. I am still shocked from the news.

Such pain
Such hurt you've been through, and still going through. I've seen what such abuse can do to a person first hand so kind of understand your pain, but still, unless you are the actual victim, it would be hard for most to feel your pain the way you do. Well written emotions of sadness and thanks for being able to share this, as the more this type of abuse gets out in the open, the more people will become aware that things like this really happen.
