RAPED

How could you do this to me?
You tore my soul apart.
Because of you, my joy did flee.
Now all I know is agony.

I trusted you and I was betrayed.
You raped me; now in hell  I will stay.
Because you sinned, I have to pay
For today and all eternity.

Heavy title and strong content.
Don't know if this really happened to you but if it did then your state of mind concerns me. If a trusted friend violated you I can understand your agony.  Hope you will get help to get beyond this. If talking helps, e-mail me anytime.

angel girl,
I tried as long as I could not to read and then as I passed by another time I couldn't let pain keep me out.  This poem is the start to a release of pain...let it out my friend and know that kind hearts are here to listen.  The words you wrote show so much pain and above all else it shows that you have courage. E-mail me anytime I will never judge you and sometimes we find comfort in venting to those who never see us....this I speak from being there myself.

Very good poem, I'm sorry for your pain  though...    I'm a guy and may not be able to help you as much as a girl could that has been through it, but if you do need someone to talk to I am here. Just icq me or email me. This is something no one should have to go through, and it seems to be happening more and more these days. It's very said and disapointing as to what the world is coming to.  But just remember, if talking would help you, you have gotten a few replies from people that would help you, and so would I if you want it. If you don't want to talk about it thats fine though, writing poems is a good way to vent and to heal yourself.

Thankyou all for your comments. This poem was really hard for me to write. Unfortunately, I did write this from experience. I went through this twice by two people I had trusted, my father and my step-brother. The latter was not even two years ago, when I was 15. Somehow, knowing that no one knows who I really am helps me to talk about it. I have seen several psychologists, and none of them have helped me as much as all of you have. Thankyou again for listening to me vent.

angel girl--a survivor 'sister'--how well i
understand.   Remember always that they did
not touch the 'you' in you, and don't be afraid to feel the rage...that is your right.
e mail if you need to talk.

Thankyou, serenity. However, I feel much of the time that the real "me" was touched, beaten, bruised, and destroyed.

 One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.

Sweetheart: You haven't been destroyed but it takes an incredible amount of strength to find *you* again and you'll probably always be more vulnerable but you can grow from this but it will take courage and a lot of it, you'll need the support of your friends but even if you don't have that, you will still be a very beautiful person and don't shake your head at me, cause you're here and that is half the battle...

Big HUGS sweetheart

Angel....I don't know what to say. I'm sorry doesn't seem right, I can't say that I know how you feel, because I don't. What's worse is the fact that a family member has done this, not one but two.
I guess all that I can tell you is that I feel for you and you are in my prayers. The power of prayer is strong and gives one strength.
And as many others have said, if you need to talk...ICQ me or e-mail me. I'm here to help if I can. Sometimes a stranger is the best medicine. Much love to you and GREAT BIG hugs....or a shoulder to punch if you need.

Rainbow-Thanks. I can't tell you how many times I have come close to not being here. It's really hard to stay.

Ken-I agree. I still find it hard to believe.

Hoot-Thankyou for your understanding and kindness.

Serenity-I'm sorry if it seemed like I was fussing at you. I wasn't. I just get so confused and I don't know what to do or say sometimes.

Irie-Thanks. I think the hardest thing is that my step-brother knew about what my father did to me and he still went ahead to hurt me.
