Touch Poem by Emily Casbourn

When I say I am not ready
Why do you still force it upon me?
I told you I am in love
Yet you think it's with you
I cry and make you feel so guilty
Yet you still touch me
I scream for the time to end
I run and hide
You still pursue
I haven't been okay
You stole the light
I finally feel safe because someone cared
Yet once again another begins
I feel powerless and alone
I wanna scream out
I want to be gone
Vanishing into the night
You will never get it
Even with a sign on my door
How many more times will I need to do it
Tell you I don't want too
You need your lower brain
You never think with your own mind
I dislike the fact I get no say
Why force yourself on me
If I say no then don't
If you want it then tough sauce for you
I am a human with feelings
I have opinions and needs
Please just step off of me
I am a living person
You want someone to touch
Touch a doll
Touch a frog
Stop touching me!
