This is a first person poem about what goes through the mind of a teenage date rape victom
No
I can’t let it go
I hate you so much
I hope you burn in hell for what you did
Nothing can ever be the same

I can’t be happy
You took that from me
I can’t trust
You took that from me

You stole my livelihood
You stole my innocence
You stole the light in my eyes

But most importantly…
You stole my virtue
And that is something I can never get back

I can be happy again with time
I can find someone to trust
I can find a new livelihood
I can learn to be mature
I can discover the way to ignite the light in my eyes

But I can never get that back
That you can only have once

It should be protected
It should be defended
It should be given away at the right time to the right person

Not stolen

I told you no
I said it over and over
I struggled and you beat me
I gave up and you choked me

You took my body
And you tore it in half
You may as well have killed me afterwards
I am broken

I have a broken spirit
I want to cry
I want to curl up into a ball and weap

But I can’t

I look at my arm
I am ashamed of what I see
I am ashamed of what the world sees
I am branded
I am tagged with scars that prove me weak

They indent my flesh
They are proof to the world
I can mask my tears with smiles
I can mask the pain with a busy schedule
But the Scars are inevitably seen

You see what you’ve done yet?!
Still think it’s “No big deal”?!
Do you still think of me, Jasper?!
Do I ever enter your mind?!
Has it finally sunk in yet?!

No
I can’t just let it go
I hate you so much
I hope you burn in hell for what you did
Nothing can ever be the same
