You will not win

You will not win

A Poem by Simone Davis

Un wanting hands caress my breasts
Your face smug with glee
Your taking away my purity

Invading my mind body and soul
You seek your possessions
Can’t control your actions
an object of allure and serenity

Whisper words that make you cringe
Holding onto emotion you dare not show
Doesn’t mean you want it though

Fear and shame awaits me
Every flash back haunting me
A ghost so ghastly I will never be free, even though your hell bent on torturing me

Year by year you kidnap me
I really can’t escape your energy The moment I left, you followed me
At my disgust I cuddled thee
My inner thoughts you’ve poisoned me

You will not win
Yes you’ve broken me that
Doesn’t mean I can’t be set free

I will make you see

This is a very powerful statement of the emotions and long term damage that this abuse can cause. Well done for having the courage to share this. I'm sure it helps to know that you're not alone.
All the best in the future.

Very brave of you to disclose your personal pain to strangers. It's encouraging to see your spirit is not broken and is able to write a message that can inspire others

As you often do, you leave the reader with a sense of strong conviction. While a sad piece, the abused confronting the abuser, even if in her mind, is courageous. And, I love the "I will make you see" as an ending line. This conveys not only strength and confidence but also hope.

You might consider restructuring stanzas three through five. As they are, especially without commas or other punctuation, the flow is disrupted. I had to stop and re-read those sections before continuing on. Still, another good poem from you. I always enjoy reading your work.
