Raped, yet not Raped.....

[Heavy Hearted]

HI,

I wrote this to my uncles. Trying to tell them what I felt. To tell them what I feel, what I think....

~Raped, yet not Raped~

You may have taken,
my tender years.
Broke my trust in men,
but you'll never get my fears.

You may have raped,
my tender soul, and my heart.
But you did not rape,
my will, you did not break me apart.

I may have screamed,
even allowed a few tears.
But you'll never see,
the terrifying fears.

I refuse to let you win.
I refuse to be raped of being me.
I'll move on, and overcome this.
Just you wait and see.

You may have raped me of my innocence.
But you did not rape me,
of my life, of my love, or my peace.
I refuse to let you do that, you see.

I'll admit you raped my body,broke it.
But, my mind you'll never have, its not breakable
It will never be yours to have,
to live through this, I'm capable.

Go ahead break me, break my body.
Break my trust in you.
But you'll never truly break me.
I know that my strength is true.

So you raped me of my innocence.
But you did not rape me of being me.
I'll live, for as long as it takes to see you die.
Just you wait and see.

On the day that you are raped of life.
I'll cry my tears, and show my fears.
I'll know then that I'm free,
when my shame forever clears.

I'll live with being raped, of my innocence.
I'll survive to see another day.
I'll see you raped, of everything.
Then my life will be truly okay.

So you raped me,yet you did not.
I refuse to be raped of me.
I'll overcome this, someday
Just you wait and see.

On the day that you are raped of life.
I'll cry my tears, and show my fears.
I'll know then that I'm free,
when my shame forever clears.

I'll live with being raped, of my innocence.
I'll survive to see another day.
I'll see you raped, of everything.
Then my life will be truly okay.

So you raped me,yet you did not.
I refuse to be raped of me.
I'll overcome this, someday
Just you wait and see.

Angie this is your best one yet, this is a very empowering piece and it stands up on behalf of everybody who had that happen to them

Thank you....
I wrote that yesterday, it just came to my mind....I just finally stood up and said they will not rape me of being me....that they can not break me.
That I will survive, even if I have to fight to live through 100 more yrs...I will NOT let them win, I will not let them rape me of me....I am strong enough to win now...
I am glad you liked it....
