Artistic-Nomad Posted March 17, 2006 Victim of Rape: She was a daughter, a sister, whom had a mother, Couldn’t face the pain an old man brought her, She tried to mumble the words to her father, With the embarrassment, she couldn’t go any further, Depressed, couldn’t confess to her own siblings, Stressed, feeling less as she was weeping, At night she stays awake –with a thought that aches, Reflects from the pain, she has gained through many years, Still remains silent of the shame that kept her bursting into tears, In a letter she composed before she came out, In sadness she wrote, “My people will not be proud— Having this fear, feeling misery and treated unfair? I’m not able to love, if I’m feeling despair, Would anybody even care? Would they bare –their soul and shelter me from the cold, Would they give me the fault –if I let the secret unfold? Will they be against me and create a conspiracy? What if they say –innocent till proven guilty? And support the man who rapped me? Misery in mystery awaits me, if this man is set free†“I’m trying to puzzle the story of a child, who bled, A story everybody heard of but don’t believe it yet,†Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
J.Lee Posted March 27, 2006 I wish I had retracted my first hello Replacing it with a bidding of adieu I wish I could have blinded myself To all the good I have seen in you For never did I believe your hands Could hold me down so forcefully As your repugnant breath I breathed Without care and tears: unmercifully Never did I dream you'd ignore my cries: My pleas of desist as your speed increased Never did I envision hate would lay acclaim to Your breast: Anticipate it would be expressed Never did I think questions I have Would remain without your answers Unable to believe: A beautiful soul Violated as if you are my body' cancer I feel exposed: Passed around like horve d'oeuvres What is the purpose of my limbs? Were they fashioned merely to clench yours? For such a proposed proposition, never Did I grant: So was it worth it? Worth Buckling under the weight of regret: For taking such a destructive measure Worth forgoing my permission for 5 minutes of your satiable pleasure? Such a treasure you could of claimed By the mere tying of a loose knot: Yet you did not: You opened it without voicing askance And though now you are no more, see To me than just a regrettable past tense The blow dealt, I hold forever: I bleed for you as if you were my mense My affliction: an unfortunate association An aberration: in my remaining lifespan A familiarity that become the unfamiliar A bond of trust that lays but unbounded A terrible secret kept in secrecy: a shame Not felt for myself: I'm but your victim But for you: rapist; knowing I declined P.S I wrote this in a rush dude/ette (excuse the irregularity): I wanted to post a reply ever since I read this poem but somehow I just couldn't (Go figure); it just had that effect on me and not many people write about such a topic so kudos to you.

Lee" My affliction: an unfortunate association An aberration: in my remaining lifespan A familiarity that become the unfamiliar A bond of trust that lays but unbounded A terrible secret kept in secrecy: a shame Not felt for myself: I'm but your victim But for you: rapist; knowing I declined All I can say is that the parts I picked out from your poetry awakened something that was lying dormant for a while. A fire that had nothing but dying ambers reawakened to burn with vengence. Truly magnificent. Keep at it dears. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
