Poem
The very thought of you still makes me sick to my stomach,you make my skin crawl I'm not that same scared young girl crying curled up in a ball You were supposed to be someone I could trust and look up to I still have deep seeded trust issues to this day because of you My dad had just died, I tried to take my own life What you did to me cut so much deeper then a knife Your true intentions weren't to help, you didn't really care You took from me my innocence,it was too much to bare You made me wish I'd succeeded in joining my dad, I didn't want to be alive Yet, somehow I found incredible strength from within to survive Feeling scared and ashamed it took me quite some time to tell my mom what had happened to me I kept it all bottled, it happened not once or twice but repeatedively I went from straight A's to failing everything, I didn't graduate with my class I went back 2 years later and graduated making the honor roll and for me everyone held up their glass All these years later reliving it through nightmares makes me want to run I wake safe with my loved ones and realize you can't hurt me, that time is done I eventually married and became someone's wife Although deeply scarred physically and emotionally you still didn't hold the power to stop me from having a life Never thought I'd have any but I even went on to have kids of my own What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and I found that strength unlike any other that I've ever known I pray to protect my children from predators like you You haven't won, I'm still here standing after all you put me through Your clearly weak and I pray you find strength too Your going to need it when your judgement day comes, this I know to be true
