Tortured Soul

As I lye in my bed I hear the sounds of the stairs squeeking. Wishing I could make myself invisable, wishing I was dead! As I hear my bedroom door open, I knew what was coming next. As I seen him moving closer to my bed, when he felt for me, I was not there I was hiding in my closet to keep him away! The next night I moved my dresser in front of my door so, he would not be able to enter no more! I told my best friend who then told my teacher in the end. I was living in fear of what might come next. After all, I was but a child of 16 and knowone to believe me! I told people in my family and all did was damn me. By them not believeing me, I was stuck in this hell hole! When he found out I told, it got worse! He told everyone that I was lieing. He got caught in his lie when the doctor said I had a baby inside. Suddenly this man that was suspose to be a father figure to me, broke down and told his wife. This foster family that once thought they knew him, found out about the true him. I could not stand to carry a baby from the man that raped me! I had the baby terminated and cried from all this . Not knowing how to move on and pick up the pieces of my life that was so cold! I sometimes wonder to this day, what might have been!

Sylvia, my poems are about my life. Weither you think they are finished or are true, IT DOES NOT MATTER TO ME!!!! I welcome constructive critisiam but, that is not what you chose. You chose to judge me and my poem in a negative way. So, if you cannot be nice and be constructive about them. THEN DO NOT READ THEM!!!

That is so awful for a child, and it happens too often. Writing it in a poem has to be therapeutic. You are brave to face it. I hope you find a happy life.
