Never Again Untouched.

*Trigger Warning* Written about becoming the victim of a sexual crime

I remember that night like no other

I remember the people, I remember the places 

I remember the drinks, I remember the cans

I remember feeling uneasy, but not trusting myself 

His smile charmed, at first 

He seemed interesting and unique

Learning of his past intrigued me

But he was not all he seemed 

We went out that night 

With friends and high hopes

I thought I met new people 

I was excited for the night 

When we returned for the night, I was ready for bed 

We decided to watch a movie, have another drink 

I was concerned when his friends all left the room

But I ignore my gut and never left

My protests weren't enough 

I couldn't save myself 

I was subject to his desires 

But no thought to my own help 

I couldn't wash my body off

I scrubbed as hard as I could 

I lost everything that night 

I no longer believe in the good 

I lost a part of myself that night 

An innocence I can never regain 

But I mustered up all my might 

FIghting to remain sain 

I cannot go back

I will not forgive 

But I will overcome 

He will not ruin my will to live

I fight every day

I fight every night 

I fight so hard

Why do I make his wrongs right? 

To everyone in pain

I understand what you feel

Fight every day for your life

 That is always our deal 

You will overcome 

You will make it through 

Your life is not done 

To your heart remain true

Never to be taken away. Never to be right again. Never to be frightful when they come over again. The hill has not died yet. The day is not over. Now it's time to blow their head off and stand barely sober.

Honestly, this was a very real and very gripping piece. To go through something is unthinkable. I cannot even begin to imagine. You are strong-willed and your poem kicks this in the a*s! Your last lines are what seal it. Inspiring piece It only takes one person to understand to change your world for the better. Thank you for sharing.
