Array ( [sid] => 72965 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => The Things I Couldn't Say [time] => 2004-11-24 08:24:31 [hometext] => even now they still hurt me to say... [bodytext] => There are so many things I wanted to say,
To the people who have darkened my days,
But I have never had the courage to speak,
I have always felt so ashamed & weak.

But the time has come for me to speak out,
For too long I’ve been filled with worry & doubt,
So here it goes, I take my deep breathes,
I hope by the end I still have strength left.

Dear Colin you Raped me when I was a child,
Blamed it on me because I was drunk & a bit wild,
You threatened that if I told I would get the blame,
For so many years for you I carried the shame.

Dear Mum & Dad where the hell were you?
Why didn’t you do what loving parents were meant to?
You both left me all alone to fend for my self,
You didn’t give a ***** about my physical or mental health.

Dear Paul & Keith I was eleven & very scared,
You took what you wanted you didn’t care,
You didn’t rape me, but you forced me to do things,
I was too young & frightened to hear the alarm bells ring.

Dear self why have you caused me so much pain,
Pushed & forced me to crack under the strain,
Why are you so ugly, why are you so vile?
Why have you walked me right down the reapers isle?

A very personal, sad and no doubt emotional write. You said what you needed to say with depth and feeling. A great (although sad) write, pixie. hugs from me xx

I can identify with you,my step father did the same to me....but I have worked very hard to deal with it and have...I no longer let it rule my life....I do...I will not let him control my life after his death...the hardest thing I ever did was forgive him and when I did....it all changed...I was released of my chains to him....Am sorry you suffered this pain...am glad you spoke out...very powerful poem...Shari

Pixie, I'm so proud of you.
The secrets tormenting you inside have caused you so much pain, and now you were able to get it out.
I'm so very proud of you.
I can relate on a some of those levels.
Very emotional write,
good for you pixie.
