Pain

I just read a poem called "To my dead father" and it inspired me to write this poem about my own experience of rape.

Blaming this bottle for the battle I did not win/
Praying the next sip will help me forget the regret within/
My mind flood with destruction because, I can no longer pretend/
Hoping that night doesn’t happen again./

Lost in your lust, no concern for my blessing/
Your drunk lips touch my nervous body as you start undressing/

Forced not willed/
And still…..

I feel the blame/
I feel the shame/
And nothing is gained but this brutal pain./

I have been in this exact place a few times in my life but I'm glad I pulled through and got passed and found happier days. I think you said it the best "Blaming this bottle for the battle I did not win/
Praying the next sip will help me forget the regret within/." I love these lines because I know so many people that go through feelings like this on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the great read!

Really, REALLY, Deep...I remember a lady friend, okay, an ex, she told me some thing deep that she went through a tough experience...and as much as she wanted to do some thing with me on our first date...I held off...and just listened to her...just talked all night...we didn't do anything until I felt it was right..I kept it at friend zone...it's not always about sex...she appreciated me for that...I knew it was such a painful experience...even though she gave me her...I always treated her like a Queen...her brattiness I tolerated because she went through traumatic experiences...she would have nightmares and wake in sweat...and I would take care of her...because she would do the same...we're still good friends, despite, that we grew apart in life...we shared our lives.

A really great write, Honey...I hope all is well my dear friend.

This is a very moving poem and although the sadness is overwhelming and I'm deeply sorry for the pain that should never have been brought upon you...you wrote it perfectly. Stay stong...the blame and the shame does not fall on you.

A profoundly simple poem for very complex emotions... beautifully done. I wish I could hug you right now.

I'm glad that you felt strong enough to share this with others. Personally, I've never been raped, but rapists in general have earned my sincerest contempt.

You really caught my eye by the end, you paint a picture without trying, whether or not your writing from experiance I cannot tell but either way this is decent writing
