What were you thinking? <br />At a time I should have looked up to you. <br />I find myself lost. <br />Praying that these nightmares are not true. <br /> <br />What were you thinking? <br />When you took my innocense. <br />How could you continue? <br />As I cried out with resistance. <br /> <br />What were you thinking? <br />Did it make you feel like a man. <br />When you pressed my body down, <br />And you thought I'd never understand. <br /> <br />What were you thinking? <br />When you told me it was our special game. <br />You told me to be quiet. <br />Did you believe I'd never say a thing? <br /> <br />I'll tell you what I'm thinking. <br />Since you decided to violate me. <br />My pain is put away now, <br />And anger is all you'll see. <br /> <br />I'll tell you what I'm thinking. <br />As I start to get back on my feet. <br />You took my childhood. <br />And as an adult, that will not repeat. <br /> <br />I'll tell you what I'm thinking. <br />It's time that I let go. <br />No longer will you control me. <br />My heart can finally grow.<br /><br />Ashleigh Gaffney<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-were-you-thinking/
