it happened three years ago. <br />i was only a child. <br />he grabbed my wrist <br />and said stay with me a while. <br /> <br />we talked about our lives <br />i pretented to be mature <br />but little did he know <br />i was fourteen and unsure. <br /> <br />he was in love with my best friend <br />they'd been together for some time <br />he said ' ever since the day i met you <br />ive been waiting to make you mine' <br /> <br />he robbed me of my innocence, <br />i am no longer pure. <br />he stripped me of my dignity <br />i was left bruised and sore. <br /> <br />i did not tell my family. <br />i did not tell my friends. <br />i do not want to loose them <br />but these wounds take long to mend. <br /> <br />i can make it on my own. <br />in my own mind i am true. <br />the lord will soon forgive me <br />of the wrong things that you do.<br /><br />Alexis Walker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/raped-3/
