An angel fallen from Heaven Picked up by your instincts Slowly wandering into your lies Not realizing reality You pulled her innosence Into the forbidden hell Clipping her delicate wings As your own trophy She was so pure Not knowing the pain of you But you had to introduce it Caring only for your wants How could she not see It was the blind fold you masked her with Leaving the black replaced by white light Confusing her inner being Her wings are growing back The internal scares are healing You stole her childhood But she still has the rest of her life... To fly high in the sky... I wrote this about my rape... Yes, it happened to me when I was 12. I know it's rough information but it's life, and you have to learn how to deal with it... What don't kill you can only make you stronger... |

Whew- Glad you cleared that up at the end- I was wondering about that through the whole poem. I'm sorry that happened to you. It's such a horrible reality that happens far too much now. The poem was mind blowing. It's beautiful, yet strong. A perfect balance of the two. I think this may be my favorite so far of your posts. I can't wait for the next. |

This poem is very beautiful. The strength you portray in the end is amazing to me. it's outstanding that anyone can have that outlook on the situation.. I'm so sorry this happened to you. You never deserved it. I loved the last two lines. It showed that you will get on, and although you may never forget, you will grow from it. VERY respectful.. You seem like a very strong person. That's admirable. Nice work here. I really enjoyed this. *hugs* --Marie You can’t expect the roses to grow without the weeds. |

Wow. This was an amazing poem. I am very sorry that you have had to deal with rape. No one deserves to go through that. *hugz* I loved the ending of your poem. It seems that you will be able to fly again. *Amanda* |

This poem was good but derived from a horrible occurence. You seem like a very strong person. Let me take the time to say to all the women out there to be VERY careful......statistics say that 1 out of 3 women are raped and 85% of women raped are raped by people they KNOW. Plus, every 21 minutes a woman is raped on a college campus. So BE CAREFUL!!   I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |

Dopey is PIPs own fountain of knowledge.  Jessica, your poem is quite sad but extremely powerful at the same time. It's reality and therefore you have written a piece that doesn't allow anyone to look away from the harsh facts. Like some people have said before, you must be a strong person to have come through it all. Thanks for sharing this. ~AF~ Never speak disrespectfully of Society. Only people who can't get into it do that. |

Jessica, We've talked about this, and all I can say is stay strong. Nothing is gonna rid of the memory, but it doesn't do you any good not to move forward and as you said in the poem, live the rest of your life. Keep your head up. hi Sweets, Lizzy, Kris, Ina, Erin, Erica, Minna, Kit, Kamie, Javi, Jenn, Sharon, Nan, Cawlee, Cherish, Ashley, Sara, Justine, Leah, Jess, Kimmie, Mare |

This was a very emotional piece. I thought it was very well written. Nothing can take the pain away cause you will always remember it. I can only say keep your head up. Keep up the great work. Chel "True friends stab you in the front." |

That took alot of emotional stuggle for you to get that out in such beautiful words. I had tog o through a similar situation, but it was both of our faults. I cant say I know where youar e coming from, but I can say that I really felt your poem. You are a very strong person , and I hope you keep writing more. Excellent work! |

This was such a strong piece and obviously you must be a very strong person. That had to be a horrible thing to live through but I am glad to see that you are still able to live life to its fullest and hopefully will continue to. This was just simply a wonderful piece of writing. Thanks for sharing this with us as I know it made me stop and think for a second that these types of horrors occur in the world but there are people like you strong enough to share your stories with us. Thanks for sharing!! ~Nikki~ It takes only a minute to like someone, a hour to love someone, but a lifetime to forget them. |

Neveah ~ I know where you are coming from. For a long, long time I thought it was both of our "faults" also. I gave into him... but there was one thing, I was 12 and he was 32. Yes... I am very mature mentally and phisically but he KNEW how old I was. I lost my virginity to him; along with my childhood. The 22nd of this month will be the 3 year anniversary (sp?) of what happened. It brings me down... so I write. I have been through hell trying to figure out my emotions but the harder I try, the harder it gets. I am having to make the decision right now to put the man in prison or not because ppl found out about it and told my parents and they immediately called it rape and called the police. I have beat myself up for these 3 years, and continue to do so... it's not easy... I still have feelings for this man; as terrible as that may sound and I still blame myself for what happened... but if a 5 year old and a 25 year old were outside and a snake slithers by the 5 year old would want to pick it up and play with it. However, the 25 y/o should know better and try to protect the 5 y/o... does that make sense? ok... this post is going to be a mile long so I will quit now. If you want to email me and talk about this that would be awesome... jwd_8@go.com What don't kill you can only make you stronger... |

I found this doing a search on your other poems. I'm glad this one caught my eye, Jess. There was so much emotion in this. I see now the real target of "So I Feel". So..tomorrow is the anniversary of when this event happened? If you want to talk, I'm here. You can either post, e-mail me, or message through Yahoo Pager or MSN if you've got either. I don't know how exactly I could help...I've never really known anyone that was raped...but I'll do my best, if you want it. My contact info: e-mail: seijaku_kosetsu@yahoo.com seijaku_kosetsu@hotmail.com Yahoo Pager: seijaku_kosetsu MSN: seijaku_kosetsu@hotmail.com *runs off to read the rest* -Kosetsu "Love, like the Rose is desired.
