THIS IS MY TIME

A story of revenge that runs only in my head.

I curse you
And everyone who does fucked-up things like you
You took away what had been given to me
My innocence, my purity

Out of many people
I don't know why it would be you
We belonged with the same blood line
Yet what you did to me, you didn't mind

I was so young and dreamy
And you were old enough to guide me
all I know is that I could trust you
Yet you took advantage of me

The mem'ries, still fresh
As you move your hand inside my dress
You kissed me, harassed me
Looked into me saying nothing
But that look served as a warning

I was scared
I was ashamed
I fear about what would happen
If I spill out your dirty secret
So I hid myself under silence


Years were added
And I grew old
Old enough to think about what had happened
Old enough to stand up for myself

And now I saw you
Staring at me like a beast just like before
But I won't let anything happen again
This time, it would be myself who I will defend

No one was around and you drew near me
You held my hand and I yelled loud enough
"This time you will not be the one who'll be satisfied!"

In a snap, you we're lying down
Face down on the floor,
Blood all around

I was laughing
Loud and proud
I continued my insanity
When someone came around

Yells and cries
Echoed the room
Questions of how's and why's
Ran through my system

I do not know the answer,
I do not know what happened
Moments later
Everything sank in

He took away my innocence
I took away his life
How could they say that I was wrong
when it felt so right?

They caught me off guard
There's nothing left to do
No more time to hide


After all, for so many years
I got what I want
So I just raise my hands
As I dropped the knife.

[Stef Outsiders]

This is emotionally deep, felt the pain, the anger, frustration in this poem, couldn't tell anyone in fear, but suffered enough till the character were older and could do something about it. Rape, can make you do crazy things because justice isn't enough!
I hope this didn't happen to you, but brave for sharing! thank you! and well done!

A vey deep emotion felt piece. People often don't understand what they do to someone when they victimize another. You have nailed this one right on the head... I hope this really didnt happen to you, the abuse I mean, Cause nobody deserves such treatment I really liked the poem

I like how the pgirl got her revenge in the end. It made me smile. The guy deserved it. Wonderful poem

[SOUL LESS]

I would say nice, but that would be injustice to the poem. An eye - opening tale...and im glad it runs only in ur head.:)
