When I was a child, I was abused.
My grandfather made me feels so used.
"No one can know!" his frightening plea.
I remained silent wanting to flea.
Then one day, I had more then enough.
I had to tell someone, call his bluff.
Not so old when I finally told.
Nobody believed me, I was cold.
This toture started when I was 4.
Lasted til 9, five years, felt more.
No one could see inside my heart.
Only innocence would I impart.
Everyone thought that I was quite fine.
Until I brokedown, cry,scream and whine.
My friends thought I was acting quite queer.
They couldn't fathom my deepest fear.
My mind had gone, thinking had fled.
Everything stolen within my bed.
Expressions fled my innocent face.
I could be nothing, such a disgrace.
We went on trial, the media saw.
All went on file, nothing to raw.
Idiots chatted, rumors did spread.
Could people see me? Anyone dread?
STOP!! oh stop! Doesn't anyone see?
The little girl that lives inside me!
You all rob my heart of childhood fun.
A child can laugh and skip, also run.
Finally all evidence given.
The horror of the life I'd been liven.
They found him mentally unstable.
Sentinced him to talk and watch cable.
An institution will be his cage.
This in me, instills total outrage.
He took from me most innocent part.
Raped and mangled this tiny heart.
He stole from me an innocent age.
Childhood, the time when life is a stage.
Memories clouded cause nightmares share.
Tell this sweet child how this is fair?
========================================

Marilyn, I want to think you for fixing my poem.  You did more then fix it to me you created a master piece.  Thank you!

This is an excellent poem.  How awful to go through something like that and not have justice served!

Society's a bitch, huh? You go through hell, and then when you go public, you don't get any damn justification. Instead, the eyes of the world are focused on YOU, and all you are considered is a subject for classroom chatter.

Poetic,
  I'm so sorry about all that happened. Justice certainly wasn't served in your situation. But that was a absolutely wonderful poem! The expression of your feelings was. . . . wow! Definately keep writing! I would love to read more.
