Could Have Said No

it felt like i was stuck in a place that i coul never come out of. a place ive been before, not a good place either. the feeling of being used. being alone again. she tells me that it wasnt my fault, that they shoulve known better, but i beg to differ. i am old enough to know right from wrong. i knew that running away was wrong, not saying no was wrong too. i am stuck in the past where they pass me around. a little quicky is all they want and then they move me to the next one in line i feel my skin crawling as i can feel the pressure of there bodies against mine why did i freeze? why did i not say no? i walk out of the building, smelling of men that i didnt even know... why didnt i say no?

The past doesn't change, only the future. Those who haven't made mistakes have never done anything worthwhile with their lives. Don't criticize yourself. Remember Mary Magdelen and no one was left to pick up a stone. Feel sorry for the one's who haven't made mistakes. Vince

this is a very powerful poem the reader can really feel the pain you have described within it when one does something they wish so much they can just take back it can cut you to the quick, but know that you will move on from this and be okay soon you will be able to hold your head up high yeah a mistake was made but what you learn from it is all that matters
