Array ( [sid] => 89754 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Unclean [time] => 2005-04-03 14:09:52 [hometext] => A poem about rape.. [bodytext] => Unclean-

(This poem is to my friend who told me what had happened to her that night. Also from my own experiences of that night. I‘m sorry to anyone who has had to go through something terrible like this.)

He covered my mouth and I couldn't scream.
I remember I couldn't get his sent off me.
The sounds around me, pierced my ears.
I saw him and was hit with a sudden fear.

I felt so unclean,
I started to cry,
I didn’t know any better,
Will I ever understand why?

Why did this happen to me?
Was it me all along?
Was it all my fault?

He held me down, unable to move.
No one around to save me,
No one gave me a second look.
I was all alone in a room.
With my life at stake.

He had me trapped,

I thought I was dying.
I remember the pain,
I remember him running his hand down my side.
He told me to shut up as I cried.
It seemed like an eternity.

He hovered over my body.

I tried so hard to scream,
I tried to move,
I tried not to cry.

The blood was already there from before,
I managed to scream.
But he beat me once more.

When he was done,
He said I was dead if I opened my mouth.
I felt torn up as I sat there,
I was so scared,
I felt so unclean.

Voices in my head began to scream...

"This is all your fault,
How could you let this happen?
You should have fought harder..."

I pushed those voices farther away,
But I remember his voice,
It just wouldn't go away...

Hand on my mouth
He quietly said...
"SHHHHHHHHHH...
This won’t hurt,
It's all in your head."

Such a heartbreaking write, your friend is not alone, rape happens everyday, she's one of few that get to live. Most are raped then killed. Support your friend.

Awesome write, my heart goes out to your friend, she is not alone, rape does happen everyday to good people, and it is not her fault.
