Abuse Poem

Next Poem >>

I'm 17 and have been sexually abused for 8 years. I'ts still not over completely, and the future doesn't seem too good. So for anyone in my position please don't feel alone because I know what it feels like. I hope that for every abused child out there that everything will be ok. Just don't ever give up the fight because you've done nothing wrong. I just wish someone somewhere, would try and understand. I know its hard to be happy...its the hardest thing in the world. So I wrote this poem to express how I feel. I hope you like it xxxx

No Way Out

He came into my life
when I was just a little girl
I was happy and young
And then he changed my world

One night I was in bed
And he came to say goodnight
except he took a little longer
before he turned out the light

He really hurt me that night
And I didn't know what to do
I thought it happened to most
well every little boy and girl

I lay in bed that night
Hurting inside and out
tears streaming down my face
I tried hard not to shout out

I put that tragic night
to the back of my head
playing games at school
there was nothing to be said

A year had passed along
and then it happened again
My mum was out at work
it was him and me again

I was sat next to him
just watching the TV
when he pulled me close to him
and again molested me

I thought it only happened once
When I had done something bad
but now I knew I was wrong
I felt alone and sad

And 8 years on I got
the courage to tell someone
the police got involved and stuff
I was hated by my mum

she kicked me out that day
and stuck right by his side
saying I was attention seeking
and that it was all lies

so in the end it got too much
and I told the police I lied
everything went back to normal
I swear I wish I'd died

everything was going well
until he sent me those texts
saying he would kill himself
it was all my fault instead

so I went back to the police
and told them it all again
he's moved out for now
its investigating time again

but my mum still hates me
and thinks its all a lie
I feel so alone right now
I wish I would just die

I've told a couple of friends
but its hard for them you see
to put up with something as stupid
as a teenager like me

all I do is mope and cry
because no-one understands
what I feel inside each day
please someone take my hand

I cut myself sometimes
When the pain gets too much
I hate him for what he did
and where he used to touch

I often think I'll run away
or step into the road
my future seems so black and dim
I'm only 17 years old

And if the case is dropped
he will come back home again
and I'll be back to where I began
In a world of sadness and pain

I hope someone hears my cry
and says they understand
I just don't know what to do anymore
I'm scared and on my own

So you see I'm stuck forever
I just want to scream and shout
But there's something you have to know
That for me, there's no way out

when I was a little girl I was sexually and physically abused it went on for about 2 years every night my mom went to work I finally got the courage to tell someone it was hard but it had to be done I was scared and still am I am not myself and have difficulties with relationships but I am trying to work on it and I know everything will be just okay!

Kari R. McGarvie Posted on Friday, October 31, 2008

that poem touched me and I cried as I read that I'm only 13 but I feel her pain! it is horrible what people do to some of us and I think they should all just die but that poem was the best one that I have ever read!

Ariana Posted on Wednesday, November 05, 2008

I feel so bad for anyone that goes through this. I did and so did my sister and a lot of other girls. It was my father and he also molested my daughter. She is 25 now and will not admit it...She has wiped it away, but I know that everyone deals with it different. I do not feel bad like I did anything, he was the sick person. I do care hate for him and always will. I believe in karma. 2 yrs. ago he became very sick and we (his children) had to make a decision to pull him off life support or let him live...Well we pulled it and watched him die. I know that sounds horrible...but it is nothing compared to what he did to my daughter, sisters and me and many more!! I will tell u this...what any molester does to u...don't give them the satisfaction of ruining your life. Move on and know that they will get theirs!! Smile inside and out and it will all be ok. I promise!!!

Melissa Posted on Thursday, November 06, 2008

I was sexually abused when I was a little girl by my grandfather (Dad's dad). It started when I was about 6. It felt like it went on for years, but it did for 4. I am 35 now. I do have control, he has died, so that was the hope I had that I could move on. I wanted to kill him myself but I was too late, his heart gave out. I have allot of issues I still try to deal with. My other grandfather just a few years back tried to sexually assault me, I was older, stronger.. I got out. He has died also a couple years ago, most say from guilt. I have not yet been able to forgive or forget but I am able to live. Just don't give up keep trying to deal, it wasn't our fault****Although we are affected by our abuse STILL, we as survivors need have to live.

Melissa A Magrey Posted on Thursday, November 06, 2008

I am a 52yr old woman who went through abuse as a child and a teenager for many years and kept it inside my whole life. It has manifested into a physical issue now and my doctor, who I finally came clean with after all these years has given me hope.
I would love to get in touch with her or just let her know, TELL SOMEONE-DON'T KEEP IT INSIDE!

Karen M. Thiemermann Posted on Thursday, November 06, 2008

My son at 2yrs. old was molested by his father. I felt the guilt that it was my fault I married the man. The man who took my son's innocence away at such a young age. But now he's 24 and still feels dirty. But he knows through it all I was there with him. I loved him and protected him all of his life. I hate when kids tell someone and no one believes them. I did believe my son and I'm still here for him.

Deanne Posted on Friday, November 07, 2008

I have been through abuse too, I am seventeen also. If you want to talk or want help, I can help you. You should do all that you can to get out of this situation. Remember, IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT!!! For the longest time I thought that I did something to provoke it. But as I got out of the situation I realized that I did nothing to deserve such a thing. No on deserves this! I am not a very religious person but I will pray for you. I really hope that things turn out okay for you. And don't let your mother get to you. Some people choose men over their kids cause they feel that they need them. Well honey, I'll tell you something nobody needs a man! I am just starting to get over all that has happened. JUST REMEMBER THERE IS HOPE!

Good Luck Honey
and I will be thinking about you

Allison Posted on Friday, November 14, 2008

I was molested at the age of 7 it lasted a couple of years. I hate him and wanted for him to die. I'm now 31 yrs old and have let go and let God take care of him. Put your trust in God and He will get you thru. As for your mom she doesn't deserve you. She will one day regret it. Never give up. Take the hate out of your life and God will give you the peace that you need. I will pray for you. The truth will set you free.

Tina Posted on Tuesday, November 18, 2008

I just want to tell you how brave you are, I am not going to go into MY story, because I don't want to take away from yours. Just remember, God is always here for you. He is a faithful God whom loves us unconditionally, if you reach out for him, he wont let you fall. I know it might seem hard to believe at times, just pray and everyone else pray, With GOD all things are possible! Blessings.

Pamela.Annette Posted on Sunday, November 23, 2008

Reading this poem truly touched my heart. I'm 16 I have been abused by a family member only once but I understand the pain of a mother hating you and not believing a single word you say. Although you try your hardest to make it go away it won't and it can't until you are ready to let it go. My heart goes out to you, really it does, you are so brave to come forward and tell the world what the monster has done to you inside and out. I feel your pain but you will make it through you made it this far! and you have to keep fighting, for you have what it takes. You just have to believe in your self!! Amazing poem and amazing girl! I hope all works out xo

sheralee knight Posted on Thursday, November 27, 2008

I was sexually abused from 3rd to 9th grade I'm in 11th now....and its hard for me every day no one understands
there's so many times I'll be walking down the street and when a car comes I just want to jump in front of it...
when my friends are with me and they see a car they grab me and make sure I stay on the right side of the road...
I use to cut but not no more
everyday I want to more and more
there's so many things that I hide inside and sometimes its just to much and I want to die!

marissa Posted on Wednesday, December 03, 2008

you go over and over it in your mind. you push it right to the back but you still know that it is there. the pain you feel will not get better until you start to help it. you have done the first part, telling! I think you are so brave already. if you are strong enough to tell you are certainly strong enough to get through what is yet to come. just hang in there and know that you are an amazing person who can deal with anything life throws at you. thank you for writing such an amazing poem. my thoughts are with you always. stay strong!

Ebony Braylee Posted on Wednesday, December 10, 2008

omg that is the saddest thing I have ever read. I am thirteen but I can just imagine how u felt. Your so young to be going thru all this. your poem is really going to inspire one person out there. I hope you live and love your life. The past is the past just look forward to your future. = D

jasmen Posted on Monday, December 29, 2008

your story/poem was amazing I know that I haven't really experienced what you had but I feel your pain I think its important to remember its not your fault I think you did the right thing by telling and don't let your mom get to you if she wants to be with that monster over you let it be and ill be praying for you hoping this man will be sent away. you seem so amazing!!

aleeca Posted on Wednesday, December 31, 2008

I know how you feel my brother molested me and it continued for about 6 years

michelle Posted on Monday, January 12, 2009

My mom did the same thing. She hates me. She would only use what he did to me to her advantage. I really hope you are able to read this because I DO understand. I'm sorry it happen to you to. I'm only 16. I thought my baby sister and I were the only ones who went through it and their own mother turned against them. I hope everything turns out in your favor. He NEEDS to be put away. Maybe show the police this poem. I plan to use mine against him. Good Luck & Love

stacy Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009

your story/poem helped me a lot my dad abused me from when I was seven till I was thirteen. you made me realize that my life is not that bad although I still suffer, my mum stuck by me and she has given me the strength to continue living. I hope it all turns out ok for you good luck

cassy Posted on Saturday, January 17, 2009

Trust me someone understands and she must say that this poem reminds her so much of her own story. It’s been years since I was abused and I still look in the road and think how easy it would be to take one step into it, but I never do because I know that I'll survive and that I’m going to make a difference to someone like you did with your poem.

joana voice Posted on Thursday, January 22, 2009

I was raped when I was 12. I have dissociated (make myself forget it ever happened). reason being, I told my mom who was reluctant in believing and the police thought of it not as a rape they told me I wanted it. I was so confused as to why they would say such a horrid thing and for sometime I even started to actually think it was true, saying it was my fault. I became very depressed, sad and lonely. I felt isolated, I thought no one cared. then one night I told my best to just forget it ever happened since that is the only way I'd ever smile again and regain control over my life. I am now 17. I know living denial is the easy but the wrong way out and that dissociating only impedes recovery. but I just cant come face to face with this torment so I prefer to just forget about that nightmare :-(

Sherepha Posted on Wednesday, February 04, 2009

I really loved this poem I know how you feel except it was my uncle. My mom doesn't hate me but she doesn't believe me. But keep on writing and you will go far

Stephanie Posted on Thursday, February 05, 2009

I was raped at the age of 6 by my stepfather and then continuously for 11 years. my mother blamed me and said "I let it happened cause I hated her and wanted to ruin her life by stealing her husband". so every time my stepdad chose to touch me she would beat me severely with a metal pipe. I called out for help over and over again but no one would listen or help but I finally got placed in foster care 5 months before my 18th birthday but by then it was too late for the damage had been done. your poem reminded me of this and really touched this. you used very vivid imagery and chose very nice wording. good job.

Tina Steele Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2009

This poem is good. I loved it. You know I'm a victim of sexual abuse too, it happened 2 years ago and by my step dad. I told my mom the night it happened and she believed me 100% and left him. It still comes to me now and what he did messed me up and changed who I am. I started cutting and doing drugs to take away the pain. The court didn't do anything they sent him to AA meetings and Parenting classes they said he should register as a sex offender and they're letting it slide... I thought it was my fault and went to therapy, I signed about 10 contracts saying I won't cut anymore. I failed out of 8th grade. But I know where your coming from this poem made me tear up. But keep your head up, don't show him he ruined your life. There's a light at the end of the tunnel, I promise!

hannah Posted on Thursday, February 19, 2009

don't worry you're not alone it seems like almost the same thing has happened to me to. I know how it feels to be sad and alone. but if you have made it this far that shows how strong you are to keep moving on.

Mona Posted on Thursday, February 26, 2009

I was raped two years ago and I'm only 15. I thought I would never be me again. Sometimes it still hurts to recall it but you just got to know that in the end everything will be ok. There are ways out one way or another and death doesn't have to be one anymore. I'll pray for you.

alyssa Posted on Saturday, March 21, 2009

I love this poem it describes me a lot. This same thing happened to me. My step dad still lives with us and I want to open the case so bad but am too scared. My mom doesn't believe me and when she found a note I wrote a friend about it she yelled at me and said what would you have done if he would have found it. I am so scared it is going to happen again.

Not gonna say Posted on Tuesday, March 31, 2009

when I was 11 year old I got raped by my uncle for 3 year in a row. When I was a 11, 12 and the last time so far when I was 13. I keep it in for all those year until one day I just couldn't keep it in no longer to this day I am 15 years old and to this day it hurt when I try to have fun or watch a movie that has to do with sexual abuses I sit there and I have a flash back on what happen every time and I cry and now since that happen to me my whole life has change but I am going to over come sexual abuses, rape, getting beat, and everything that come my way. thank you for reading my story.

natashajohnson Posted on Thursday, April 02, 2009

I completely understand where you are coming from. I am 27 years old now. When I was a little girl I was molested by one of my mom's cousins and she didn't believe me. Then when I was 11 years old I was sexually molested by my uncle for almost a year. He told me that if I ever told anyone he was going to kill me. So I never told. My aunt caught him in the act and blamed me for it. She then kicked me out of her house and I went to live with a family who eventually adopted me. It has been very hard for me and I have had many bad relationships. I hope you overcome everything you are going through and I will pray that you seek freedom.

Shawn Posted on Thursday, April 09, 2009

I'm going through this right now I'm 22 and just told my mom about my grandfather who molested me. He is still around and in our lives, well not since last week. Its hard cause that's who took care of us when my father left us and who my mother trusted. I never wanted her to know cause I knew it would hurt her and I didn't want to be the cause of that. I felt alone too at first but since I've told my story it seems there is more of us then we know and we all are going through the same things I'm sorry you have the pain I have. I wish you all the luck in the world and hopefully we will be happy one day!

Jessica Posted on Friday, April 17, 2009

you are a beautiful person.
I hope you know that.
don't let anyone tell you you're not

Maddie Posted on Monday, April 20, 2009

this poem has touched me a lot I hate it when kids get rape or abused. its so sad. I had a friend who was abused by her dad she told me and her friends not to tell anyone. but we wanted to she was scared if she told the police that her dad would beat her up more. but she's in Florida right now with her mom. I miss her! stop child abuse!

melissa Posted on Wednesday, May 13, 2009

I too have been sexually abused, and raped as a little girl by my uncle, and also by my ex boyfriend of almost two years. My uncle said he would kill me if I said anything so I never told the cops, just my mother. I couldn't press charges on my ex boyfriend because I didn't have physical proof. I am turning 17 soon, and know how you feel. There are people who do understand you and know what you feel. The feeling of being a victim of sexual abuse is horrible. But no one hide it, it's better to get it out and have something done, and to know that it can be put to a stop. I am sorry for what happened to you. I hope that everything works out for you, and I hope that you can find that one person that won't do that to you again. Best of luck. Take care.

Samantha Posted on Tuesday, May 19, 2009

this story/poem really touched me as its true there is no way out!
unless you are brave enough to tell someone but most little girls and boys aren't so the suffer inside =[

Shanice Posted on Thursday, June 04, 2009

WOW!! that poem made me cry! You're tough! be strong!

Nikii Posted on Monday, June 15, 2009

I understand because I went through the same thing and no one believed me I didn't know what to do every one called me a liar

holly Posted on Thursday, June 18, 2009

I feel your pain your not alone god will take care of you. I went through it my suppose to be grandpa raped me when I was in like 2nd grade it's sad the way I had to face that situation! But I did it kills me I am one sad girl and each year gets worst but I'm here 4 a reason and I chose to stay to fine out!Your the same you should just think of you and make the very best of the remaining time you have don't forget the past utilize it It will make you a stronger person he will rot and have a horrible after life that's if there is an afterlife he can't count with god. God stopped helping him the day he hurt you so hang in there try not to think about it let it go I know it's hard but if you keep it in your thoughts it's going to cause more hatred and build up emotions will be created and it's not worth it he's not worth your pain and suffer and we all know that. So don't worry be happy, live your life away from reckless sick mental idiots! Don't have nothing to do with it !

Iz Posted on Saturday, June 20, 2009

I Feel You Pain. My Mom's boyfriend sexually abused me from the age of 4 to16. It took me that long to say something. and now I'm 21 .although he said he would kill me if I said anything my mom does not believe me at all. She says I'm lying and I don't care about her..all that stuff he did does effect my relationship with men and it seems like no one understands me or what I'm going through......including my boyfriend

Karleigh Posted on Thursday, July 02, 2009

Dear Abused 17 year old young lady,

Do not ever stop fighting for your rights. I have been abused myself when I was very young. Eventually, all stopped because I learned to fight and say NO. I screamed and God heard me crying and answered my prayers. Talk to a counselor at your school. Get help. Do not ever let him touch you again. Lock your room, refuse to be home alone with him, get a tape recorder or a camera and set it up in your room if you can. Have him pay for what he did. I will pray for you. Do not run away. Finish your education, be successful. In this world it is not safe to run away. You might get killed and you have a beautiful future ahead of you. Get professional help. Believe on yourself. Do not let others let you down. Have courage, be strong, fight for your safety.
Love,
S.

swho Posted on Friday, July 03, 2009

I am sorry for how you are being made to feel. I know the feeling to an extent. I was molested from 3 till 14. I never told ANYONE!. I still have not. I feel that I have a major trust issue with men for this reason. I have four children and guard them with my life, and for this I have current marital problems. Be sure to get help or at least find someone that you can talk to when you have the feelings and thoughts you need to get out. I wrote a lot of things down however I burned them because I never wanted anyone to find them. So in a sense I never had an out. I hope all goes well.

Keri Posted on Monday, July 20, 2009

Don't give up. keep fighting for your rights. Never think that your stuck forever, you will escape one day. you will be free. I know what it feels like to be alone. I am only 12 but life has not been to easy so far for me. I know you can get through this. just keep fighting. don't give up.

Beth Posted on Thursday, September 03, 2009

well I now how you feel my dads roommate raped me when I was only 5. I tried to tell someone but no one would listen they said I was lying and I hated them for it. Some times I think I don't belong I cut myself. Me and my friend feel the same its been so long since then I was 5 when it happened and now I'm turning 15. I've lived with it for so long I'm tired of it now no one believes it but my one friend. We often cry ourselves asleep. We hold each other and cry and say someday our misery will be over and we will be happy that all I got to say

faith Posted on Monday, September 21, 2009

You are so brave and your poem was so touching. There is a way out, you have made the first step, that is telling the world. Now go to the police and forget your Mom. In time, you will be healed and loved. There is hope.

MelJo Posted on Sunday, September 27, 2009

I completely understand how you feel I was raped by my mom's boyfriend from the age of 12 until May of last year. I am now 17 and have one child and one on the way with my fiancé` and we live on our own in our own house that we together own. So it doesn't always have to be bad in the end. Keep your head high and hang in there and always always remember your not alone

nikki Posted on Wednesday, October 14, 2009

your poem is well written with lots of feeling in it. I also write poems on my life experience, its almost the same as yours, I was raped more than once and by more than one person and once by three guys at once...I know how you feel and all I can tell you is to just be strong and get away from that guy ASAP.

Tanya Posted on Thursday, October 15, 2009

I understand 100%, though my mom knew what he did to me she did nothing but let it happen but she's a slut that's why. She was in the room with us when he did it. She didn't care she told me it's normal and it's just a family thing something to be passed down to us that we'd never forget. She's right I wont forget. But what she doesn't know is I wont forgive. I left her at 15 and now I'm 17 and I have a 1 year old son and to him I have no family, when he is to ask I will tell him they all died. Because what was passed down should stop . I'm not that old and I know right from wrong and know what kind of mother I am and what kind she was. I will break the chain of what they pass down even if I have to tell my son the entire story I'll do the right thing.
