Are my words too powerful, the torture of truth I’m not the only girl You have so much to lose. We all know your secret you can say it’s just a lie Ive gained weight from the trauma I even took my life When I swallowed all the pills And the ambulance came I replayed back to the memory Of when I called your name Not to moan, but to stop, but you still carried on I survived the event I didn’t want to go on But I did and I wished I was dead As I kept it inside as resent The scars on my body will remain of the dread The deed of sex that you thought was consent.

Glad you were so truthfully poetic in sharing this. I am so bluntly open it my poetry, it has cost me. And now, 6 months later, I question my sanity in being myself. But 600+ poems later, it took me a while to figure out friend from foe here. Both are here. I still am dismayed and what to Post next. In truth always, Panagiota

Amateur poets are all over the place, and we are wonderful friends on this site. Welcome to our tribe, Rosie. We will be soothing and comforting for you. I am proud of you for taking off the bandaid and venting. Perpetrators count on secrecy, and you have outed this one. Taking his power away from him, and your power back. BRAVO!

The worst thing you can do is bottle up a traumatic experience that you have had. Many on here come to terms with a painful experience by putting it in words, hopefully it eases their pain and allows them to try and move on, sometimes deep scars remain that take longer to heal. Well written Rosie and welcome to soup. Tom.

Thankyou for your insiteful comment, and understanding words. It really has made me feel so much better, and to bring attention to a sadly frequent act. Hope you enjoy my stuff for the future, Rosie Hill

I think we're mostly amateurs here. So, you will fit right in. BTW: Freedom is a dang good reason to write!

Thankyou, I appreciate the comment, I am an amateur poet, but there’s a first time for everything, it was hard to write but I feel free to have let it go.
