Stolen Childhood

Trusted you
A friend of the family
You took advantage of me
Stole my innocence
Beat and raped me
I couldn’t walk for days
The doctors whisper
To my mother
Your daughter might
Never be able to experience motherhood
My mother crying

I wonder if she is ashamed of me?
Does she wish I were dead now?
Will God accept me in heaven?

Rocking myself to sleep
Why me I am only 11 years old?
You bastard
You stole my childhood

    This is a very powerful write!! I know this burden and I woudln ever wish it on anyone, not even my worse enemy.

    "I wonder if she is ashamed of me?
    Does she wish I were dead now?
    Will God accept me in heaven?"

    A lot of girls who have had this experience, feel these exact feelings, but what I would have to say to them is, "is she ashamed, no. A mothers love is unbreakable. And when someone goes through this, it isnt ever their fault"

    Wonderful write.

    People that abuse others are just scum. I am sorry this happened to someone you know. My niece was molested when she was about three years old. I know that anger. Take care Queen

    Thank you for the comment, many young girls are beaten, raped and killed. Some by family members, friends and yes of course the obvious strangers. Yes my poem is not about me but about someone I love dearly, so the cursing was necessary for me. I felt an anger that a young girl should never feel. Read your poem tragic and I pray that did not happend to you. Bless you and all.

    this is written from the point of view of an eleven-year-old and it really packs a punch written this way. writing through a child's eyes is so honest, sad and poignant.
    well done!

    Oh wow... this is wonderful. I have a poem about rape... it's called Tragic, maybe you'd like to check it out. But your poem is so filled with emotion, the little girl's cursing was a bit much, but all in all it was magnificent. Ever since I wrote my poem, I keep finding more and more on the topic of rape. I'm glad the warning's are out there, but i'm sorry that they have to be.

    Well, I am so glad this is not about you, I've been through similar things, just without my mother by my side, and fortunately I have had one child, though many losses, this really hit a spot with me, and it was a great write, thank you for sharing.
