IM STILL HERE

I'M STILL HERE

IT ALL STARTED WHEN I WAS 10 YEARS OLD
I WAS MOLESTEDFOR 5 YEARS FROM MY DAD
AND RAPED BY MY BROTHER
        BUT I"M STILL HERE

I HAVE BEEN BEATENWITH A TOW CHAIN
AND MY HOUSE WAS SET ON FIRE WITH ME IN IT
        BUT I"M STILL HERE

I HAVE BEEN BEATENAND THROWEN THREW A BIG PICTURE WINDOW
AND WAS RIPED FROM ALL MY CLOTHES OFF
         BUT I"M STILL HERE

I WAS RAPED ON SEVERAL ACCOUNTSBY MY MOM'S
BOYFRIEND AND HIS SON
         BUT I'M STILL HERE

I HAVE HAD OVER 11 SURGERIES PLATES AND SCREWS
ALL DOWN MY RIGHT HAND SIDE
          BUT I'M STILL HERE

I WAS SLIPPED DOWNERS IN MY DRINKS
AND ALMOST DIED
           BUT I'M STILL HERE

I WAS BEATEN SO BAD BY MY HUSBAND THAT WHEN THE OFFICERS
TOOK ME TO WHERE MY BROTHER AND SISTERS CAMPSITE
THEY DIDN'T EVEN RECONGIZE I WAS 
            BUT I'M STILL HERE

I WAS VERBALLY ABUSEDON SEVERAL ACCOUNTS
AND SOMETIMES I THINK IT"S WORSE
            BUT IM STILL HERE

     THE REASON FOR THIS POEM IS NEVER GIVE UP 

              CAUSE IM STILL HERE
