Next Poem >>

this poem is dedicated to all of the young girls who are crying out for help. Maybe someone doesn't believe you now. but keep trying to speak up & get help. don't end up like the young lady in this poem. a similar thing happened to me. At first nobody believed me but I kept trying to reach out & get help. Eventually a very special person who I explained my story to, helped me before it was too late. The man who hurt me is now behind bars where he should be & he can never hurt another girl for the rest of his life. so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't give up hope. reach out & get help. no girl deserves to go through what I went through...

Listen

There is a reflection of pain in her eyes, as she fights back tears.
Trying to figure out why she has put up with it all of these years.
Innocence gone.
Just taken away.
Struggling to deal with it & be free someday.
Tries to tell someone but no one believes her cries.
Just another young girl getting some attention through lies.
Suicide has crossed her mind but she will not go out that way.
Thinking well maybe if he cant find me, he just won't rape me today
Perfect smile.
Broken soul.
Living in this situation that she just can't control.
Things get worse & he beats her more.
Loses all self respect for herself when he comes through that door.
Fed up & full of hope she tried to fight back.
He pulled out a knife, all she saw was black.
Out of her misery & out of her pain.
Put her in such a place that she cant even explain.
But she tried to tell someone although they didn't believe her cries.
Just maybe if someone would have listened...this young girl would still be alive.

Wow that poem was unbelievably good but at least the girl in that poem tries to speak up I wish I had the guts to

I was 15 when this happened to me, the animal was someone I saw as my father and 41 years old. That poem says EVERYTHING I have felt since then...I've written a full book on how I feel and the ONE wish I have is that we as victims and beautiful people do not give up...yes its hard I fought for 3 years and woke up every day thinking he would once again have control but I couldn't back down. I fought for myself and for all the others who cant find the strength...NO one deserves this and those animals don't deserve to get away with it.. Peace out Ladies Love Maddie
Joyce your amazing thank you

OMG!!!!!! OK I don't really have story like I've been raped or anything but it has came close once before if it wasn't for a man outside watering his grass. I was only a 7th grader in junior high and I stayed after school to take a test and when I was walking home five seniors were messing with me tossing me around and the guy watering his grass came and got me and walked me home.

This poem says everything. I was 9 year old. It went on for to years. The person that did it was like my brother. Just think, being 9 years old, I tried to tell someone, they told me I was lying, but when they finally did believe me he had done the same thing to my best friend.

Beautiful poem, you captured every emotion that's somebody that has been raped feels.

Lara Posted on Wednesday, October 08, 2008

Wow this poem is just like what I have been through ever since I was 9yrs. old my dad used to rape me almost every night. he would beat me if I just looked at him wrong. To this day I am still scared of him. I was placed into a foster home 2-3 yrs. ago and I still am in one. I still don't feel safe. and I'm sure I never will. and because of my dad I have been raped repeatedly by diff. men and have been pregnant 1 time before and I lost it because the dad of the baby beat me. I will never forgive my dad!! I have sooooo much hate towards him. I feel like it's my fault and to top it off my mom knew about it but now she claims she doesn't remember any of it.

I really liked this story! iv been abused since I was 6...but not sexually abused! only verbally and physically…

kaity Posted on Wednesday, October 15, 2008

I was 8 yrs old when a friend of the family started molesting me and my younger sister. I know how it feels to feel like no one cares about you. This poem captures all the fear and pain that I felt for a long time. I am now 30 yrs old and Have accepted the lord God in my heart. and the man who did the molesting to me was sent to prison for a long time. I will pray that God touches the hearts and helps heal the hearts of the young girls and boys who gets raped and molested in this world.

I know what you guys are going through. I have been in and out of foster homes since I was 2 years old. I lived in a badly abusive home, I would get the crap beat out of me just cause they didn't feel happy. I would get radios thrown at my head, my aunt sitting on my back pounding my head in the ground. Trust me, I know how you guys feel, I was raped from age 4 to 17. I have been homeless too many times. I know what its like for the world to turn its back and you just sit there waiting for it to come back.

Amber Posted on Thursday, April 30, 2009

omg. I am really sorry. I knowhow you guys feel. I almost went through that same situation.

eugenia Posted on Wednesday, June 10, 2009

This poem right here just talked to me. I was one of those kids that fell through the cracks. I was molested by my father for five years and I had told my mother and the cops when it first started happening and nothing was done and then four years later I told again because I had a little sister and thankfully he is on his way to jail but my mom still thinks he didn't do it. this poem helped me realize I'm not alone and its going to be ok. thanks.

Jessica Posted on Tuesday, September 08, 2009

I was in a situation similar to this. I am safe of course but no one believed me. Not even my best friend. My mom has no idea and I can't tell her. There were two men involved. I am fighting each day, not to hate every guy in this world. All I think when I see a guy is hey he is cute... is he gonna be a guy who loves me for me, or is he just gonna rape me? I am so scared to date. I am a Christian and the Lord is helping me through each day, for I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
