You Took My Innocence

I can’t talk to anybody I feel like nobody truly understands I don’t trust anyone so I pick up this notebook And pen you see smiling but if you only knew The things I hold inside. creeping in my room No one knew how could my mother be such a fool while she was off to school left me with a man I knew done things to me that I should’ve not know. Touching and pleasing himself in his zone I couldn’t wait until my mother came home When he was do told me if I ever told a soul He would take my life crying when he left the room Screaming on the inside this isn’t right so confused But it never stop over and over again no one knew a thang I hate you to the cord of my being, Nights I would hide so he couldn’t find me I grew up thinking it was my fault for every rape and assault This dark memories still haunt me . I never look at men the same thinking all men will do the same thing you did. My trust is all ed up but I knew the only way To get over it is to open up and speak out but how When I was so young I kept silence for to dame long . So tell me what the do I do ?? when voices in my head Keep saying you are wasting your time no one care anyway I cant shake it anymore I have believe that my whole dame life .

This is a powerful write, Colleen. Most rapists do not get caught thanks to the intimidation they put onto their young victims. They can be caught, and they will be caught eventually if the right child grows up and tells. She might save several other young victims too. A powerful write, the honesty and the fear come through loud and clear. Writing is therapeutic for me, I hope for you also.
