Array ( [sid] => 82574 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Don't Listen [time] => 2005-02-01 23:44:34 [hometext] => This poem was not something that happened in real life... just another writing of my imagination trying to get certain points across to teens like myself... its kinda long but please read and tell me what you think [bodytext] => I think about what you said
and think about where I lay
if I wouldn’t have listened
it wouldn’t be this way
but no, I felt to cool
so when you crawled up I grabbed your hand
and crawled out and down the ladder
until our humble feet touched land
we ran off into the night
holding hands in the dark
we ran until we were out of breath
and stopped at the nearest park
you took a wad of money out
I didn’t know of your task at hand
maybe if I did
I’d still be able to stand
you walked up to this guy
standing by a tree
I should have seen it coming
how stupid this was of me
you gave the guy the money
and returned with a couple hits
why did this surprise me
the whole story fits
you pulled out of your coat
a lighter, some beer, and weird pills
gave a joint to me
through my spine I felt the chills
lighting up yours I followed with mine
and you put a pill in my beer
I asked you what it was
you told me “have no fear”
why did I believe you
why was I so dumb
why didn’t I realize the mistake
until my whole body was numb
so I drank the entire can
and began to feel light headed
I asked you what was wrong with me
and got the answer I had dreaded
“baby don’t you worry
you will be just fine”
why did I believe you
why didn’t I trust the instinct of mine
after a couple minutes
I felt myself pass out
no longer was I “all there”
what you wanted no doubt
I felt you take off my pants
but there was nothing I could do
I laid there helplessly
why did I trust you
I felt a scorching pain
and everything blacked out
I told you to please stop
and began to thrash about
“calm down” you soothingly whispered
“everything’s okay”
and although I knew it wasn’t
there was nothing I could do anyway
it wasn’t until right now
when I woke up on the ground
all alone in the dark
my body still unfound
unable to move
for the pain still screamed inside
that I realized what had happened
and began to cry
for I could no longer move
I’d have to wait until I was found
so now I lay sprawled out
against the cool damp ground
who could be so cruel
to do such a thing as what you did
and who would be as stupid as I
to do something forbid
so now I lay and wait
out of my mouth I moaned
why couldn’t I have stayed in
why did I go get stoned
but now its done and gone
victim of rape I am
don’t go through what I did
don’t be part of the scam
because no boys that make you smoke
or drink and carelessly take drugs
really truly care
they all are just big thugs
and you will be regretting
the choice you decided to make
when your lying on the ground like me
and crying for god’s sake
so take care of yourself
don’t get pressured at all
because when this happens to you
you’ll have to take the fall [comments] => 1 [counter] => 141 [topic] => 21 [informant] => HiDdEnTEARS [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
