Secret Shame

A  pain beyond the physical, pierces the soul

S  ilenced through the fear, loss of all control

H  urt just doesn't cut it, so turn to blades and pills

A  lifetime that's been exchanged for an hour worth of thrills

M  esmerised by horror, haunted in my mind

E  ndless guilt and blame, healing I must find

D  espair.  Desperation.  Darkness.  Denial.

    Very sad, deep and emotional. It is brief, but has a powerful message. God bless.

    wow- this describes how horrible, devastating and destructive being raped is. You did a very good acrostic on one of the consequences of it. I liked how you used a 'd' word for every word in the last letter for the final line. Very nice and best wishes in the contest! karen

    And wow again! Such power you have painted here with this acrostics, and to know it is personal bites at ones tender soul. Hope all this is something from your past and you're not still going through all this hurt and pain. Still one who has been there carries the scars into future days, never truly getting over the hurt of long ago. Take care and thanks for sharing your pain here as it might help others who are still going through their own hell.
