Of him

That

JUST moments

Before.

That night

That forsaken night

And into the mourn

He knew

JUST

I was going

He knew

He did this to me
And the Hes’ with He
Walks
Free.

Quin, It is obvious that you are a victim. You were assaulted. By a stalker? Or stalkers? Brutally? Raped? ? ? Became pregnant from that rape? Your pain is bleeding all over this page. Am a Victims Rights Activist. That covers victims of any abuse. You need to see a counselor and you need to get someone to listen to you before you can even begin to heal. Writing about it is cathartic but it is not going to make this horrible wrong go away. Trust me, there will always be the scars. You must learn to deal with them. You are here crying out. You need to also go back to the police. If you know your attacker or attackers...Stalker or stalkers, your D.A needs to know.! NOW! Because they are free and they will do it again and again and again. Rape is done by sociopaths...it is a hate crime and a most egrigious violent crime (secretly hate women) and a power play! Theo

It`s a Bad Experience, What can I say, you know that, You do not need to be told to 'Pull Yourself Together' You cannot bear to hear again the words 'Get Over It' It is a Fact of Life, You have made up your mind, just a Fact, A Fact. Now it`s on paper, on file, in Cyber Space....for the Gods to see and Judge. You being a Woman have the Toughest Roles to Play, The worsts Tests to Endure. Treat this as such, You Pass with flying Colors.In my Book you Do. You have a Friend here Who Love you without Condition and no Axe to Grind. Or am I taking this Poem Too far over the Line. I still gave it 10 My Kindest Regards. Philip

For me it was like watching a film unfold in a series of Kodak instant photos flipped onto a desk - it hurt to continue reading but I couldn't stop. Thank you for writing this.

took a little while to get into, but it all came together after a while. Strongly worded, defiant expression of outrage, transcending victimization.
