Lost Wanderer by Alotta
Here I stand,
alone and afraid;
feeling filthy and unwanted.

he took my soul;
my virginity;
my life;
my hopes;
my dreams.

I am nothing now.
nothing but a lost wanderer.
wandering this cruel world
thinking why he did what he did, to me.

I didn't deserve this punishment.
didn't deserve it at all.
but when he grabbed me and began ripping my dignity away bit by bit,
the fear arose within me.

he touched me over and over.
told me I would soon die.
told me I was a "whore".
but why?

in a way, I did die.
in a way, I am still here.

a lost wanderer.
alone and afraid.

A truly sad poem about the rape of a 16 year old who now has no reason to live.

A few years ago, this happened to my friend. and I wanted people to know about the disgusting ways of rapists.

Her self to is ashamed,not that the fact about what happened it's just the fact that she will never be the same and can never really talk about that night to me its to painfull for her but your poem touched me real deep down inside and im just sending you a feedback to let you know that your poem not only touched my heart but hers as well! THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ MY LETTER I SENT BACK TO YOU! - cheyenne
bubble . your poem was great I was raped two years ago. a teacher found out and is helping me get help. it's one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. but maybe one day I'll feel better about. thanx for writing a poem about it and making me realise how bad it really is. - Katelynn
bubble i think this poem is very toching. my best friend was raped by her 2 older brothers so i know how the author feels. going through something like that would be unimaginable, even knowing someone who goes through that makes your life a living HELL. my best friend is like a sister to me. as i am writing this we are arranging her funeral service. - feria

bubble It's sad to read something that's so true. Some might not know how it feels to be raped but by reading "Lost Wanderer" you can get a picture of what it feels like. This is the best poem i have ever read. I just hope all the girls out there get the message of how it feels to be raped and try to be more careful in the future. - Zenobia
