Faded Dream by Dry Petals
A joke
a game
a score for him
turned my life
changing me forever.
maybe I wouldn't have stayed pure
but his deceit
was a dose of the devil
that spread through me
and not easily cured.
His hot sweaty body
muscular and heavy
weighed mine down
and blurred
my already drunk vision.
Telling me "hold tight"
taming my whimpers and squirms,
I closed my eyes in pain.
He took my innocence away
and who's to say
he regrets this day.
He was rewarded
congratulated
for a piece of my life.
I may be bruised inside,
but growing strong
angels
life me above
his poverty in spirit.
Alone I now find
a jewel so clear inside
that never really was taken.

I experienced rape at the age of fourteen. Although I never could quite conceive of this as rape, until four years later. This date rape has not only caused a dramatic shift in my perspective in life, it has also spiritually challenged me to grow as a person. I am a lifelong learner, and find this to be a detour, not something that has scarred me

This touched me so much because i personlay was raped by my best friend . He told me he was comeing over to check on me cause my brother had been in the hospital an i had been home all day alone. I had jus gotten out of the shower and was starightening my hair when he walked in and was messin around like always I came down stairs we talked n he kissed me I was ??like ok?? and then he started forceing himself on me and i tryed to stop him i said NO and it didnt help he jus wouldnt stop. I cant deal with it he was my best friend and all because of that he thought he could do what ever with me - Dealing |

This poem really touched me because I know how it feels. When I was 10 years old I was raped by a stranger. I am now 14, and the man was just caught a little while ago. I am going to testify against him soon. This poem , along with various other things, helped me see that I'm not the only one with those feelings. Thank you. - Becca |

Hey, I really like the poem. I was 15 when i got raped by one of my ex bf's brothers an hun trust me it will never ever go away i am turning 19 an it still bothers me each an everyday there is not a day that goes by that something in life reminds me of what has happened to me. It hurts but remember hun we just have to stay strong, keep our heads up an know that it wasnt our fault its jus that people out in this world are psycho's an they are the ones who need help an it is there fault that our childhood our life gets taken away. - Amanda |
