Hey, I knew you once, when I was a child, do you remember me?
Do you remember how you stood by and watched the Devil take me?
Do you remember my tears, my anger, my pain?
Well, Im not hurting anymore, but I still dont need you.
Is the Devil really stronger than you? God?
Author notes
I am still angry and dont believe that God could stand by and watch a child get raped and abused, and still claim that he exists and is here to help us.

I can so relate to these words. I was in this place for a very long time. Sometimes we just have to blame the devil and not God but I took a lot of years to be able to do that. The last line really made me wonder, if God is so powerful then why does he allow these things to happen. You have said so much with few words. I think you must be very strong to share these feelings here on AP. I know writing has been my only relief at so many times. I think the ? at the end really get the point across that you are wondering if God even exists. Been there, done that. I do promise you one day the pain will ease and you will be stronger and better than ever.

I can answer you. God is a powerful energy. and spirit. We are also energy and spirit. We have duties spiritually to perform and make choices before we come to earth on what we need to experience in order to become strong helpers of the mixed up worlds of people who have gone astray. The universe has many worlds not just little earth. There are places where spirit is needed. Not all spirit finds it's way. Some get lost and return again and again until those lessons are learned and experiences had.Earth is simply a school we come to. It is a terrible exerience for a spirit who has chosento experience abuse. It takes so much courage to go into that waiting womb knowing you will experience such things. BUT you do it beause you need the experience. During the wait for birth you forget your spirit life and wait for birth. All things that then happen were part of what you knew would take place. Thank god we don't remember. However knowing that this was preplanned, and all the people involved just part of that, makes it easier to accept and forgive. Everything was there to help you to help others. Your understanding and compassion were heightened your feelings were widened. Everything about you was awakened to others pain and you became a healer for other people. We all go around in this circle of earth, life and spirit. You stood the test and became a wiser soul. Well done.
The key lesson is FORGIVENESS. Its hard but it was just part of a journey to something so much better.

Powerful
Of course you've heard the old cliche everything happens for a reason no matter how f*cking bad it hurts! And let's not forget God works in mysterious ways. Good poem, I felt your heartache through it. Bad things happen and we just have to persevere. Your happy place will come.

I can to an extend understand where in the hurt heart this piece comes from. It's so strong and intense and well penned. I love this piece because it hits a spot in my heart that can slightly relate to how you feel. I'm glad though that you are able to stand strong. Good work on this write.

A heart-wrenching piece
It does break someone's heart to read those lines full of hurt and anger. It still stuns me to come across such piece which contains such an intense emotion. I feel for you... quite strongly, I'm afraid ;_;
Thanks for pouring your heart out... and for sharing XD
