Forced (2)

by Jackie Marie   Feb 28, 2006


I woke up this morning
Realizing it was all a dream
I think it is so amazing
How real dreams can seem
The truth really is
That I am too scared to tell
I have been living with this nightmare
And it all leads to pure hell
I want to feel normal
I don't want to grow up this way
Even though you left us
It doesn't make this pain go away
You raped and molested me
When I was only a kid
It kills to think of how you hurt me
To think of what all you did
I wish I had the courage to tell mom
But the truth is, I don't
What if she don't believe me
I really think she won't
So all that is left for me to do
Is to sit here and dream of an escape
Someway to get out of this life
To escape the story of my rape

    I woke up this morning
    Realizing it was all a dream
    I think it is so amazing
    How real dreams can seem

    That I am too scared to tell

    And it all leads to pure hell

    These lines really caught my attention.
    They lead the poem well and hte sadness is compounded in the final lines.
    Well written.

    I liked those lines, particularly because "pure hell" caught my eye. There was a sadness that flowed through, and anger and despair that came from the simple words that you used.
    I hope that this story is not true, but if it is, perhaps the best thing for you to do is share it with people, and not bear this burden alone.

    Anyway, if it's not true, then as it is, the poem came out beautifully!

    Good Writing,

    ^This is something I keep thinking to myself and I wish people would understand that. I think you should describe more what it feels like to be a victim and scared instead of plain out telling us. People need to know how truley bad things can be. I have people who just tell me I overreact to something that, "Was bad but not that bad."
