As a Child

by Jackie Marie   Dec 17, 2005


A secret
One that I want to tell
After this happened
Life has been hell
Things are now so wrong
Scared of every guy
My friends have noticed
And they always ask why
I can't tell them though
I just try to forget it all
The stuff that happened as a child
It was like I was his little doll
He used me for his pleasures
I had no clue what was going on
For I was only a child
Didn't know I should have told mom
He told me not to
So I was scared to try
After this process was over
I would begin to cry
I tried not to stay alone
For he was always around
I was always trying to hide
And not to be found
Now he is gone
And I now know what went on
He had molested and raped me
I only wish I was wrong
Now, too scared to tell
What would everyone say
Once they knew that as a child
He had a game he liked to play

    "For I was only a child

    Oh, how I agree. Terrible feeling, isn't it? Lovely poem, though, uncomplicated yet expressive.

    I'm off to read the other three too.

    Wonderfully emotive. I liked the simple sad flow this poem had.

    Now, too scared to tell
    What would everyone say
    Once they knew that as a child
    He had a game he liked to play

    These lines I found particularly haunting. Great job.
