Scared

Contributed by Misunderstood_gurl on Wednesday, 27th July 2005 @ 07:53:54 PM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry



I closed my eyes as I hid under the covers
‘Why is this happening?’
I’d ask myself over and over again
But I’d never get an answer
As the familiar squeaking of my door opens
I grip my blanket tighter
He walks up to my bedside
And jerks the blanket off
The familiar smell of alcohol on his breath
He takes his clothes off and jumps into my bed
He works on mine now
I don’t move or make a sound
Except for the tears that are streaming down my face
He touches me like he did so many times before
After the first few times
I stopped struggling
And let him have his way with me
He’d tell me I was worthless
And that I needed to be punished
I started to believe this
And stopped screaming for help
‘Cause no one heard me before
So why would they hear me now?

That poem gives me a very sad sense... You have given the reader this word rape.. and you turned it into a feeling, a strong emotional feeling.. Good work, overall just needs a better rhyme scheme.. But, other than that, I couldn't have written it better myself.

good write, but sad. if this is continuing, you have to end it... tell someone. letting me know won't help much, remember- we don't live near each other. if we did, i'd come over and punch the bastard in the face. please, don't let him do this to you. but it's a good write, keep it up. wishing you lots of luck, don't let him hurt you!
