Molested

Manipulated into thinking I know not right from wrong
Overpowered by his stature; my weakness makes him strong
Loathing at the thought that the time has come to go to bed
Escaping all the nightmares; forcing them to the back of my head
Sexually deviant and wicked; he’s completely out of control
Twisted are his thoughts, as he finally takes my soul
Evil vicious cycle; spinning round and round and round
Devastation lasting a life-time; still waiting to be found

Congratulations Stacy on "Molested" being featured. No justice for this crime. Still makes my blood boil. The past can't change, only the future. It takes an immense amount of courage and determination to overcome the damage. Some resort to cutting, some to depressive feelings, some to poetry. Good and bad coping skills. All are beautiful kids that often suffer unwarranted guilt. God Bless. Vince
