Please Stop Poem by Ashleigh Gaffney

Please stop, look at what you are doing
You must know this isn’t right
Please stop, don’t carry on
I'm too weak now to fight

A sick feeling in my stomach
A pleasing look on my face
I beg you not to
As my heart begins to race

Tears rolling down my cheeks
My body is all tense
You must know I don’t like it
Where’s your common sense

I said stop, please I said no
What more can I do
I'm just a kid, you’re an adult
I'm not as strong as you

Pain runs through my body
I start to scream out
Your hands find my mouth
Keeps me from trying to shout

You still don’t stop
You just keep going on
It seems like forever
But it could have been that long

I can’t believe this is happening
This is my worst fear
Yet you still don’t stop
Even with more of my tears

You’ve ruined my whole life
Just by doing that
I cant even say what it is
I'm too ashamed to admit it

Please stop, look at what you’re doing
You must know this isn’t right
Please stop, don’t carry on
I can no longer fight
