Through the Eyes of a Child

[Trilliana]

Coursing through my mind
Are silent cries
Giving a silent warning
Before the pain you cause me.
My small body
Held down by yours
Both undressed
"This is a test of faith"
They would say
Those insolent voices
Echoing in my head
I couldn't stop him
All those horrible times.
My own father
Raping his youngest daughter.
Why do I get chosen
For such torment?
Get his face off mine!
Make him stop!
Kill the seed he's sowing
Oh Gods, when will it end?
Why didn't he ever stop?
Aching for someone to save me
Someone to hold me
Until the pain went away
But it never happened
I had to fight him away
No one noticed how
I cried every day
How sad and scared I was
How I had bruises
Inside and out
No one saved me
But who would see it
Through my blood-shot eyes
And genuine smile
Filtering out the night's pain
With a daily grin
All through the eyes of a child

That is just........sad. I could never imagine going through that kind of thing myself but this was a very well written piece. As I stated before, the part of rape is obviously the worst, but equally bad are those who still blame the victim for one man's disgusting behavior.
