Damaged

A memoir from my childhood, my therapuetic writing.

The idea of me, a young and innocent girl
cauesed your lust to build, to unfurl
Too young to understand that look in your eyes
too innocent to see the lust in you rise

One night behind closed doors
you forcibly took what was not yours
Like a fine china doll, I broke and scattered
the most intimate of my mind and body, lay shattered

Thru many hard  times and painful years
I've put the pieces back together, thru tears
and many heartfelt prayers to God above
healed and sealed by the glue that is love

No no longer do I feel the need to hide
I've found the power of love deep inside
Now, I can hold my head up high
And bravely look you in the eye

No, I'll never forget the pain you caused
the night you committed the unspoken
and yes, I was left slightly scarred and damaged
I am once more whole, and no longer....Broken.

Wow this is painful to read so to know how you feel is immeasurable...

Like a fine china doll, I broke and scattered
the most intimate of my mind and body, lay shattered

these two lines said it all... to understand how someone could be that twisted is beyond me...
Glad to see you are getting it out in a healthy creative way.

I can't pretend to know what this actually feels like, but I can grasp an idea, since your words are so full of emotion. This is a great example of enduring a terrible ordeal and coming out stronger. It is a lesson to all that healing is possible, and your poem is powerful enough to bring tears to my eyes. It is beautifully heartbreaking, but hopeful.

This was the answer to a question ive been asking myself " can you heal ? " This poem does a fine job answering my question....yes. I hope someday to be where your at spiritually and be able to put my demons to bed . Your poem was elegant and written from a place many people cant go to. Thank for sharing this .

This is beautiful and painful I'm literally crying. This poem makes me think of my own past, I know what it feels like and I often think back to the face of the man who abused me and I see that look the one you describe in your poem. I was too young to understand it at the time, but now as I get older I understand a little bit more. Thank you for sharing this I believe that writing is a way to pool your strength and a way to overcome darkness and free yourself something you clearly depict.
