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!

Oh how we regret! This is nice and relatable. I can see you on stage with the spotlight shining- reciting this!

Awesome imagery.

Wow this poem is beautifully written. I really like the fact you are not ashamed for being raped and to let your feelings out into your beautiful piece of art. I do not know how it feels, must be very difficult for you. Thanks for sharing!
