To Any Rape Victims [[long]]

by AngelicDecadence   Dec 18, 2008


Don't give up hope, you can get better,
The memories may not leave,
But let them be your guide,
Reminding you, keep your pride.

You are stronger then you think,
Don't let him get his wish,
Don't let him stop you from living,
But hunn, don't keep on reliving.

It's in the past, and it may never leave,
But choose the times to think about it,
Don't let it live your life,
Live, become someone's wife.

Don't stop trusting,
Men aren't all bad,
Just realize there aren't tons
of terrible ones.

Because...People like you,
Those that have been through this torture
You're the strongest of us all,
You've been through so much and yet don't fall.

He was wrong, for what he did,
It's not your fault, never will be.
He has lost his right to be called a man,
He needs to be in the Can.

Speak up if you haven't already,
You have the power to stop this,
If he goes free, it won't just be you,
There will be others, this is true.

So tell the police, speak your mind,
The people who pity you don't matter,
It's your life, no one, not even him,
Can take that from you, don't let him win.

**To any rape victims, girls (and guys) you are so strong, you have so much heart, there are people that can help you get through this, tell someone if it's happened and no one knows, if you're thinking of suicide it's not the answer, this is something that only time can heal, and it may take a while. You will find someone, not all men are not as horrible as they may seem. Don't give up, don't let him win. PM me if anyone needs to talk to someone who won't judge or pity.**

    I love this poem. Everything you have said is very true. We experience this and even though it might have only happened once, or happened in the past, or even if it is still happening now, it affects us in more ways than anyopne else can ever begin to imagine. The after math of making sense of it and going through the motions of guilt and shame and why, these are so over whelming sometimes that people do often feel alone and hopeless.

    Your messages for the victims are very supporting and encouraging, things can and will get better and it won't always be this way if we just stay strong.

    Adding in about going to the police is good because although many and probably most victims won't do this because it is so horrific to go through and sometimes not worth the result, or for some women time has run out to report the crime, I am sure this little messgae will encourage those thinking about reporting. It will inspire them to keep going.

    I wish I could share these types of poems with all victims, I think it something that not many people feel brave enough to write about, not brave enough to read and sometimes too scared to comment or share. So I admire you for posting this and hope it reaches out to those who need to hear it.

    Good job.

    Every wheat ferments, for good brew. Within every scar, healing dwells. Things go wrong, to turn good at last. Every deed, awaits recompense.
