Shame

Published by Family Friend Poems June 2012 with permission of the Author.

the light was there but I was blind
the image never leaves my mind
you sat there and laughed while I laid there and cried
you smiled and laughed while I frowned and died
your force was too strong for my innocent no
you were all hyped up and ready for a show
why did I have to be the doll in your stupid little game
you're the reason why I hide myself in shame
when I got home I cried for days
stupid enough to trust your ways
I'm up all night crying myself to sleep
my innocence was no longer mine to keep
I dream of you at night ya know
knowing how much you enjoyed the show
your friends were there and they didn't hear
your friends are people I also fear
I said no and stop, but nobody saved me
I cried and pleaded but my voice was missing
but don't worry, not all the joy wasn't just by you
more pain came by another two
I wish I would've been more smart
and listened to my dying heart
I've added up the pain
the life I had is drained
there's nothing left for me to gain
three of y'all have permanently damaged my brain
you all wanted to play and you all wanted to touch
but saying no just wasn't enough
you're the only one who beat the game
the one who left me with the most shame
the one who caused my depression
the one who stole my possessions
all I do now is hide in my room and cry
they ask what's wrong I say a headache such an easy lie
but the truth is I'd honestly rather die

When I was 8, I got raped, and I kept quiet until I grew up and understood the situation a lot better. Then I told my favorite teacher.

I am very sorry to have heard what happened, and I completely agree with both stories which I have read. It was also my step-dad who took my virginity. I was 7 years old, but I kept it a secret until I was 13. When I finally told my Aunt what happened, she betrayed my trust and told my mother. My mom and I were fighting up until earlier this year when I broke down and said it was all a lie. I said that just so I could have my mom back. I am glad that I have people who can share my pain, however, it hurts that anybody has to go through this at all. Thank you for your stories and time.

I remember it like yesterday. Telling my mom what happened and she didn't believe me. I had enough evidence, and she threw it away and said it's useless.

I was raped by my step-dad for years. I told my mom about what was happening. She laughed and told me it was "just a dream." I didn't understand why she couldn't see that it wasn't a dream and that I was scared.

I am almost in tears after reading this, especially because I know exactly how you feel. My mother didn't believe me when I told her what her husband did to me. She didn't talk to me for weeks! I began cutting, and have been to a lot of counseling because of it. I definitely feel for you. The worst feeling is when you tell somebody you trust something that has happened, and they just laugh in your face.
