[hometext] => It took everything I had to share this with you.
because what happened was true.
And It still hurts.
[bodytext] => Our papaw asked if we wanted to play,
My brothers and me yelled O.K.
It was late at night and cool outside,
We never had a reason to question why.
He told them to play in the yard. So they couldn’t see,
What he was about to do to me.
He grabbed me and told them that I didn’t want to play,
That I was going with him - What could I say.
He’s putting his hands where they don’t belong,
I know what he is doing is wrong.
I start to yell, I can’t make a sound,
He then forced me to the ground.
His hands over my mouth, I can’t say a thing,
All I feel now is scared and some pain.
At six years old I thought I must have been bad,
I want him to leave me alone; he’s making me sad.
He got so rough and mean, I just couldn’t understand,
Why is he doing this, Why won’t he take away his hand.
Before he let me go, he told me not to tell a soul,
That if I breathed a word of this he would kill me cold.
I realize now that at six years old, I wasn’t being bad,
He’s the one that done wrong, he’s the one that’s a cad.
Now that I am older, I can finally understand,
I was six years old and he was a grown man.

I can't tell you that I understand what you're feeling. But I do know that I've learned something- that bad things do happen, but it is up to us to make them good again. I don't know if you're a Christian or not, but what I do know is that God can heal any hurt. He can heal any pain. And if you keep praying, someday he'll come back. Then there'll be no more crying. No hurting, no pain. What happened to you happened for a reason. If you trust God, He will make it right.
Always,
JB |

Dearest Kimmie,
I am so very sorry that someone you
should have been able to trust and
who should have cherished having
a granddaughter to love would
do this to you.It must have been
painful to write because it was painful
for me to read. I hope that opening up
to us here and seeing that people care
helps you with the pain.I really admire
your courage.
Lots of hugs,
POOBEAR |

U r definently not alone!
I know how hard it is to write about such things, pesonally but it was an uncle that was a grown man and I really don't remember how young I was.
I wish I could say I had some magic to wipe it all away but i don't.
Good writing and hang tuff.
PEACE, JOY, LUV,
emy |

"he would kill me cold."
Strong words. This more than anything terrorizes me. I like the simplicity of the wording, as though spoken as your six-year-old self. The last line is also very strong.
I've been through a few tragedies, and they have lead to some of my most passionate writing. I understand your nervousness, but it's right that you get this out. Bravo,
Kris Misevski

You showed great strength in coming forth and I for one think you are great. You have taken steps to recover. No one should ever touch another. And to have it be someone you trust. The problem was with him and I wish you great happiness now and in the future

| oh, i am so sorry. written in the voice of the child you were, from the woman you are. i am truly brought to tears. this was so hard for you to write, but too important for you not to. it is realization of an unfathomable act of cruelty to an innocent. my heart goes out to you for what you suffered as a child, and what you must have suffered since. As hard as this was to share, i think it can help others who've suffered such as a child. it is a gift you have given, a gift of self. and i hope that in the giving, you will find a measure of peace...a way of release for your pain. thank you, painted_echos |

| So fresh are the feelings that you bring up here...i hate when people say that they know how you feel, but that is all i can seem to sayat the moment, i know that i am still dealing with my issues from a very similar situation and i can only hope that you have someone to help you deal with this burden, because i know that i have been helped greatly by the man in my life. good luck in all of your healing because i know there is alot, just dont bury it, agknowleding it happened is the hardest thing to do but the most important. |

Oh dear god this brought tears to my eyes. I can't say I understand how you feel because I have never been sexually assaulted by someone I know and trust, however I have been by someone whom I didn't know, by someone my best friend told me to trust. This must have been heart wrenching for you to write, I know when I wrote about my experience it was very hard to do, but there was a comment left on my poem that truly inspired me. It was in the form of a poem and I hope the author doesn't mind me writing it here. This is what was replied to on my poem:

The beauty of your heart
Is more than obvious to me
And your innocence is not lost
My friend can't you see
This horrid thing he did
Was beyond your control
Tis his ugliness and his alone
A blight upon his soul
So lift up your weary head
Be not ashamed of your scar
He could not take your innocence
For that is who you are
It is our honest prayer
Once more your heart will sing
And the beauty of who you truly are
Again joy and happiness will bring
I hope for you to read this poem as it truly touched me and made me realise I never lost my innocence, that he never took anything from me but tears. People who feel the need to do this to someone does not deserve to have the satisfaction of seeing you hurt by it, so hold your head high and walk proud for you are a wonderful, caring person and without you this world would be a poorer place. Your poems are inspiring and touching, keep them coming.
