I remember asking my mother if a 5 year girl could get pregnant. When I began to gain weight at 6 i wondered if I was pregnant. When I was 7 we moved. I remember seeing her face as she walked past the room. I remember he was not even nervous. I remember I was only 5 years old. I was only 5 years old. I remember when my boyfriend asked me when was the first time you made love. I remember I was only 5 years old. I remember it was not love. I remember...... I remember walking home crying. I remember saying why did he do this to me . I remember I was 16. I remember he beat me. I remember...... I remember the smell of his skin and the smell on his breath. I remember his touch and the disgust in my mind. I remember he was my uncle. I remember I was 18 years old. I remember and I tell. Now he remembers. I remember the phone call from my job. I remember them saying my daughter was abused. I remember the long drive to the hospital for a rape kit on a 2 year old. All of this I remember... Now I remember and I am reminded everyday. I talk about it everyday so that he remembers. I tell everyone so he will never forget. I want him to remember the shame and pain he inflicted on so many little girls. Now he remembers...... |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Melissa, this is sooooooo heartbreaking, dearest freind, my heart goes out to you for I understand and know this pain ever so well, for my cousin Teia who I used to see every weekend when I was a boy got raped by a neighborhood scoundrel and it has hurt me deeply to know how people can be so vindictive to one another! (sad sigh) My heart and prayers are always with you, dearest friened, I can feel your pain and I am always here for you if you need someone to talk to! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Melissa, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

That was ver emmotional but it is also good to get your feelings out. It seems like you need to let go of the past and go on in life. I know it is going to hurt you and you will never forget but you can forgive. I have been almost in the same sittuation. But mine was diffrent. Take time and open your heant and listen to it, it will give you the wright answers. I hope that god will send you the wright one some day. I wish you luck. No body deserves the pain you went through. Well I tohught I wouldreply becuase I like your poem and I hope you write some more. I trhought it was great.

Yes, graphic, but poetry isn't always butterflies and angels. Sometimes it has heart, as you just proved. My best to you and prayers for all concerned. Michael Stars will shine when I am gone |

A very difficult process, in coming to understand that you were not at fault for the things that happened to you. It is difficult enough to always put ourselves in a safe place, where the world and people cannot harm us. I can see why this would have taken a lot out of you. I hope the responses give you the strength back that you will need to watch over your daughter. |

Blondie, I like best you won't let him forget. What courage! I too have an uncle and will not let him forget the girls he harmed as well. What an important topic. Lack of secrecy strips the opporttunities a little at a time. Bless you. Everybody thinks of changing humanity and nobody thinks of changing himself. Leo Tolstoy |
