My Past In The Future Poem by kayla fountain

never did i think i would go through this pain
i can never look at a man again
his hands on me
making me feel disgusted with myself
never again will i let a man do this to me
taking my pride and my purity

i told myself no one would ever walk, control, or talk down on me
no one would ever disrespect me
but the things i chose to do to keep me safe
pushed me so far away from you
now you got me scared, afraid, alone, and lost
i'm things i never was
weak
