Even though it was wrong,
He thought it was right.
I had been told to keep it quiet,
Which caused me to fright.
I was a vulnerable child,
That couldn't speak out.
No matter how much i tried,
I just couldn't shout.
I never refused him,
I always ask, why?
He is an adult,
So why should I?
I was always a princess,
Beautiful and sweet.
If i was getting attention,
Why would i speak!
I then told my family,
This caused trouble.
Although it was the truth,
I began to bubble.
The police came knocking,
I started to shake.
I answered their questions,
I new it wasn't fake.
They looked at me,
It will all be fine.
He will be out now,
Doing his time.
Thank you for taking the time to read my poem it really came from the bottom of my heart and i hope it helps other people to tell people about their abuse issues. xx
