This poem speaks to the core, a helpless girl continuously harassed and her story left untold. This speaks for many more people out there whose bodies have become a symbol sexuality where men want to insert control over them with threats of ending one's life! Shame that such crimes happen in an era we claim to be civilized.

Wonderful poem.
I liked the repetition of "Cool it down" as the final line for each of the 5 Stanzas.
Nice work.
That is a great little poem.
He is the Potter and we are the clay.
I can't believe this sitting here pulling my eyes out I never thought that I would read anything possibly similar to what I've been going through and for whatever reason it touched my heart so much just to see that I'm not alone. I have 2 daughters I lost my youngest recently after going through Department of family children services for 2 years and I just couldn't get it together. She's with an amazingly loving family now and my oldest I just signed temporary guardianship to my biological father until I get through rehab. I'm struggling finding funding to go to a decent detox feel so alone and all I want is my babies and it's like I can't even get my foot in the door and I'm terrified to lose my oldest daughter too and on top of losing my youngest which has put me in severe depression. I can't make it through the day successfully without breaking completely down crying or accomplishing anything at all. I'm a mess and really don't know what to do if anybody can help lead me in a helpful direction
Marcia,
It is now July 9, 2025.
Are things any better?
Prayers are with you, even though I do not know you except for your poems on this website.
God bless.
Lisa,
I am so very sorry for your loss.
I know this has to be such a terrible burden.
Please call to get help and support for what you are going through- either good Christian counseling or National suicide prevention # - even though you claim cutting does not indicate that.
Somehow I think that you can heal and maybe be a vital voice to stand up to the evils of drugs, preventing many more lives lost and families devastated.
There is something in you that is very valuable, and there are probably other things God has for you after time to receive help and heal little by little.
Prayers are with you.
