Are You Proud

Are you proud of what you did? Adding another blow? You brought back a shattered past I long to escape. I bet you didn't even know. What you did was a violation..any innocence I fought to get back is gone. All progress surely vanished, and yet you chose to carry on. Once wasn't enough. I have never met you before this in all my life. You kept coming back uninvited, making my fear something that ran rife. Once again I was made afraid and unsafe, scared to be in my own home. I keep searching for some peace.. Sadly, I believe my pain will always stay with me... forever etched in stone.

This is a very deep, sad poem. I always hate knowing that poems like this are born from tragedy and pain, but they're so beautiful in their darkness that I cannot tear my eyes away. This poem is incredible. Thank you.

Thank you so much. I have enjoyed sharing them and also reading yours. I wrote this for a stranger who was stalking me. I don't think evil people realize the impact they have on others.
