As a male reading this poem i fear for all those little girls now this moment as i type that are continually abused, raped or beaten ! I am ashamed as I read this to be a part of the male species. I am a person who keeps my feelings deep down and for once this poems truth and sadness seeped through every word! i hate to say well done on the poem because the topic is extremely saddening. Good luck girl and remember the healing starts with the first acceptance you have been abused then will be there forever its how you cope with the pain! Good luck I admire you and all the girls who have commented and have been abused!

very touching it made me cry w/ptsd you see it happend to me. thanks i felted it! kelli. " GREAT " I LOVED IT .

Yor poem was amazing and it really touched me. I was abused by a friends family member for 2 years. You have so much courage i wish i could have told someone but its two late for me know, the person who did this to me is very sick and dying in China or so my friend tells me. i was nine and im 14 now i still have trouble sleeping at night.

It was good for u to let out ur feelings to others that have been in this situation im sure people hurt and can never get over what happened to them. It is a nasty thing for someone to do but it happens and that person will pay for it, maybe not as soon as u want it but it will

im so sorry this happened to u. i am so glad i never went through something like this. but, it is not ur fault its his, u shouldnt punish urself he should be punished for being a sick pervert.

I am using this poem in my english class we have to take a poem and share it by memory it has touched me in a way that no one els can understand i was abused from the age of 1 to 13 i am 14 know the poem fits my life very well it is a great poem use if for all you can

I know how you feel. I was raped and its the most horrible thing that any person to do on a child. And you were only 8. I was 13 whan it happend to me. We were so young. It still haunts me. You just gotta be strong. I love your poem. I can really relate to it. Writeing poems is a good way do let some of your anger and sadness out. Never give up!

Kristin, this poem made me cry when I read it because it's the story of my life when I was a little girl. You did an amazing job.

hi i loved the poem i know how it is to get abused i was 5 when my father abused me when my mother had died. i know how it feel to feel betrayed by the one person you trust.

Sickening to know this goes on but unfortunately I know its true. Thankyou for your bravery in facing such a topic.

This is a great poem because it is true about some people i know, who ever wrote this please dont stop writing poetry. You are a wonderful poet. Keep up the good work. thank you jessica.

this poem has touch me in every way, as i read poem i began to notice that i was too like growing up as a kid. those memories i still just like how you metion it in your poem i just want you to know that your not alone, as we can we cant change the past but to move on. well this it i have to go oh and my name will be undifine Bye

this poem really touched me. it was like it was telling me wat had happened to me i was abused in the same way 8yrs ago, i was also 8yrs old. so i no how the poet is feeling, the physical pain has disappeared but the emotional pain still remains forever and for always.

That poem was truly deeply touching. It is so true that even though it hasn't happened in a long time. The memories will remain with you forever. You are a strong person for being able to get past this horrible situation. Poetry is a great way to let your emotions out. Stay strong.

This is a very good poem.

I really really liked it. I am going to send it to my e-mail address so that I can have it when ever I want to read it.

they poem was true to your heart it was realy good keep writing gurl

THIS POEM REALLY GOT TO ME. ME AND MY SISTER BOTH WERE SEXUALLY MOLESTED BY MEMBERS OF OUR FAMILY. HER MY STEPFATHER AND ME MY STEP BROTHER. AND I ONLY HOPE THAT CHILDREN WILL LEARN THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THEM IS NOT RIGHT AND THAT THEY CAN TELL SOMEONE. I DID!

Wow. i too am 16. and i feel your plight,and admire your strength. wow.

Kristin, that poem was very good- i was molested by my step father since i was 9 years old- it hurts- and your poem tell the story like it is. i am 15 now- and i still have suicidal thoughts because i don't want to deal with the pain- thanks for writing the poem- i write poems too- it really helps to deal with all the pain- i am sorry it all happened to you when you were only 8- you were right- you did have to grow up fast- just remember you are not alone- there are a lot of people out there just like you

This poem touched me deeply since I was sexually molested by my brother beginning when I was 8 and ending two years ago when I was 10. You need to stay strong and remember you are an earth angel and will never be alone. You have sisters all over the world who know what you have been through. You will never be alone and whenever you feel the guilt or shame or anger just force yourself to recall how you DID NOT want what he did to you

when a poem makes you stop and think, and hurts to read and fills u with empathy, then u can b sure that u have read an excellent poem

Moving At least some way you are able to deal with it throough writing May God Bless you

how could someone do soming like that to a 8 year old that is so wrong i am only 15th and i would never in any way hurt a little kid

Excellent peom and unfortunatly real

This touched my heart, im 18 and just coming to terms with my past, the evil forced into me has a child, haunts me everyday, i think its fantastic that you can write down these words, well done, and thank you.

I loved this poem it brought tears to my eyes It also happened to me when I was a child Even if I'm only 15 I still understand all the pain and sorrow that you have been through.

That was a very good poem. I can really relate to it because my first father was abusive up intil i was 6 years old. So thank you for putting that one on here.

This is such a tearjerker!! Anyone who has been abused, knows someone who has been abused, or has no idea what it is like will hold their breathe for a moment after reading this poem. It is touching.

I was raped and molested by my father for years starting when I was 12 and ending when I ran away at 16. The pain never goes away but we learn to deal with it. I also write poetry about my pain and it really helps a lot.

This brought tears to my eyes. I was sexually molested as a child and it went on for 14 years. I thought that by telling people that I was molested that I had dealt with the fact that it did indeed happen...I fooled myself[by thinking that way] for 8 years. Now I am free. It still affects me but I know a lot more about myself by bringing the memory of it all back. as much as it scarred my heart[and body] I have finally come to realize that it was not my fault all those years. I was only a little girl. and although I will never be able to forgive or forget the man who did that to me, I can live again. I have many poems on this, I would love to share them with you.

very sad but very truthful awesome and powerful
