i want you to know
that you're not crazy,
these fragmented memories,
these feelings
of unreality
and worthlessness
are a normal reaction
to a terrible crime
i want you to know
that your spirit
is no less beautiful,
the bastard
couldn't steal that
i want you to know
that i'd kill that fucker
in a heartbeat,
well no,
death is too good for him,
torture
is much more appropriate
but most importantly
i want you to know
that you aren't to blame,
that i still love you
and always will

well personally i think castration followed by force-feeding them their own dick would be a good start.

Well now... this is a delight. So much so, that I am going to borrow it to send to a friend if you don't mind... For me this encapsulates what a good friend should be.. caring and protective... empathetic and understanding... and yes, death is way to good... spit roast in hell still doesn't come close... so perhaps we could collaborate on a punishement fit for the crime? This is what all good poetry can be a times....succinct! I like this a lot....well done.

Aww..this was such a fantastic acknowledgement to those that have suffered such a horrid experience. You've written something that should be automatically said to everyone who has been so completely abused and humiliated and I think you are a very compassionate person for writing this. Again, great job!

This is such a great piece. You done an excellent job on creating this piece. I agree with you on the death being too good for anyone committing any sort of sex crime. I have an aunt who was sexually abused as a child, and I can't even look at the guy who done it. Anyways, great poem. Keep up the excellent work!!

i wrote this while thinking of one friend in particular, so she was the inspiration, but i think it's true for all survivors.

and I think this is a great write for the person who has been molested ...they sometimes feel at fault or worthless...good for you for saying it is not your fault...best of luck in the contest

Wow. This is so good and well written. The first few lines are my favorite. Luckily I've never suffered from sexual abuse but I know a lot of my friends who have been raped or molested by their family members and I think it is so awful and sad. Thanks for writing all this down and do you mind if I show it to one of my friends? Wonderful poem.
