Violated and Abused



              This was not suppose to happen to me.
              why did you treat me so roughly and
              destroy my dreams of my childhood?

              Nothing left for me to see in my futrue,
              but ugliness and rage you forced upon me
              here sitting, crying tears of pain and anguish.
              finding no loving comfort left inside myself,
              only the horrible memories you left behind
              can never be erased from my life forever.

              Fighting your strength wasn't an option,
              you chose to take my spirit away instead
              leaving me feeling violated and abused.
              taking from me what you had no right to,
              left out here in the cold in my pretty dress
              nothing is left of me to feel good about.
              No longer am I a little girl full of dreams,
              nightmares will run rampant as I sleep.
              Forcing to face realities that I shouldn't
              have had to do being this young at heart.

I was sexually abused when I was a young girl and this is what I saw from the picture. It's took years away of my childhood away that can never be changed

    Breath, I tell myself...

    I forgot to breathe as I read your poem, Bravo for telling and sharing. My life has been filled since early childhood with abuses by so many - Starting with those closest to me. Sexual abuse robs more than that moment , the innocence, it is a spiritual deeply injuring action that has followed me all of my life. It has influenced every aspect , the choices I made then and up til today. You deserve a trophy just for speaking out ! We need to be vocal and say it, "sexual abuse has to stop!"

     

     Sexual abuse is never right, never okay to turn a blind eye. Thank you for posting. This is deeply personal and brave of you. Bravo!

    Oh Such a sad and disturbing write, mostly because it is true. The stealing of a child hood from so many and society turns a blind eye. Nice job of sharing and hopefully give help to others. Excellent expression from a srong person.
