I Must Move On.

Poem By: WiredThisWay
Other


Like most people, I've had things done wrong to me. This is the very first time I have spoken of these and the very first time I have written about them. My theory is, "If you don't talk about it, then it never happened." I was very wrong. View table of contents...

I was seven when it started
We played Truth or Dare at night
He said, "You're so pretty."
I begged him, "Please don't."
I must move on

He was supposed to love me
Not treat me like his sex slave
My innocence was wasted
My youth was so short
I must move on

The pain ended when I was ten
The memories will remain
Silence was my best friend
Faking was my game
I must move on

Time had passed, I thought I was safe
Again, I found myself scared
He hurt me with his strength
My friend was a fake
I must move on

With a firm hand around my throat
I was his for the taking
I found myself frozen
My life was at stake
I must move on

Why is my world so filled with pain?
Why do things like this happen?
Why do they get to live?
Why can't I forget?
I must move on

I'm twenty now, I still see them
They both murdered my spirit
They stole my life from me
I've been through the worst
I must move on

I am the product of abuse
But I shall keep on living
I'm blessed to be alive
I can't let them win
I must move on
