Poem On Confronting The Pain Of Childhood Trauma

This poem was written to get out all the emotions of what happened in my childhood. I needed to do something to make me feel like I wasn't alone anymore. I hope it helps others to realize they don't have to be alone.

The Nightmare Of Abuse

©

Published by Family Friend Poems March 2012 with permission of the Author.

How are you feeling? What's going through your mind?
Is that dream you're dreaming hurting deep inside?
You wake up hearing yelling, yelling in your room,
You wonder who it is, then you realize it is you.
You thought you were dreaming and you woke up feeling scared,
But the feelings were real and you realized he was in your bed.
You wonder if anyone heard, heard you scream and shout,
But you realize you're alone and no one will help you out,
You're helpless and afraid, just a lonely little girl.
You want to be saved, but shhh, we're not supposed to tell.

It happened to me as a small child from 5 till I was 8 by my great uncle. I never told anyone. Now I'm a mom and 33. I fail at relationships.and don't trust letting my kids with most guys. I only trust my dad. The sad part is that I can't look at pictures of me back then because I can't protect 'her' and it makes me feel sad and helpless that she was so alone.

I know what you mean, tears come to your eyes when you talk about, it still does for me.

Short but complete. I got tears in my eyes. Pain talked about so easily and still not expressed at all. I am sorry to say it but I like this poem quite a lot. It touches and moves every corner of my heart and makes me share the pain you feel. My favorite line-not supposed to tell.. man it calls out and shouts so damn loud and clear. It's sadly wonderful.

I love the line "But you realize you're alone and no one will help you out." Because I knew that no one even cares about me, even my family I don't feel their love from them, it's like I'm nothing to them. Thank you for this poem I appreciated it.
