Innocent Child
Raping my soul
with your angry thrusts
of domination
ceasing to exist
of your internal penetration
and your violation of my spirit.
Lost and confused
my feelings and emotions
became immune.
A ruined and battered person
from your violent anger
and negative power.
Keeping me prisoner
in my own cell of fears.
Sleepless nights
nightmares of your face
reliving those moments
over and over again in my head.
You stole my essence.
It was not yours to begin with.
Robbing my innocence with your sick
and twisted ways.
I was just a child who thought it was a game.
Trying to lure me into hidden shadows to do the same.
I ran away but could not forget
or forgive without regret.
Feeling ashamed and blaming myself
for something I did not create.
I was too young to understand
to heal from my ordeal.
Time stood still when I was seven
from my living hell to my beautiful heaven.
