**NIGHT**
Am afraid of the night, afraid to close my eyes..
Afraid of being violated, the innocence between my thighs..
Plucked unjustly, choked by an angel touch..
For if I dare say a devil be he, the world will kill me with its words..
Now I lay naked, abused and torn...
_**My pride washed up by the tides of torment..
I lay beside myself with contempt...**_
Dying to scream, yet my mouth remained shut..
O dark night may you cease to come...
The pains of yesterday, how badly it stung...
As my purity was snatched from me, the halo above died...
I cried myself to sleep, wishing never too see another night.......

wow! what words. this is a seriously heavy subject and even though I've been directly effected by sexual abuse I have never wrote as strong a poem as this!! I commend you for breaking barriers of silence and shining light onto this topic many of us find so difficult to talk about.
Sorry about what you had to go through...
I just wish there's something that could be done to put a stop to it, it breaks my heart to see some one go through the hell rape put them through... My best friend was robbed and raped a day before I wrote that... It's something I pray some one don't have to experience...
So sad
thank you for your compassion <3 it truly is a terrible thing to live through but it made me stronger and I was able to forgive and move on - I hope your friend was too - it's a wonderful thing you're doing by speaking up for those of us who can't! much respect to you
