You, Me, and my Virginity

Caution: A rape story

I feel your hands

all over me.

Too much.

Stop please.

And you say

But I thought you loved me.

And then give me no time to answer

I find my voice

But I do love you

Then why not you say

No No No

My voice

disappeared.

it's gone,

hidden behind your hand

I can't speak

I can't scream!

But by then it's to late.

It happened

I can't stop it.

I can't stop you.

If you want something ,

You take it.

And so goes the story

of You,

Me,

and My Virginity.

I worked with rape survivors for some time, and it is the most under reported crime of all. Many people feel like they did something to provoke it especially since victims usually know the rapist. I am grateful when I hear or see people coming out of the shadows and speaking up. You did a wonderful job on this, and thank you so much for sharing.

May I ask how you go through this? I've been struggling with it for 4 years but I am unable to get out of my current situation, would you possibly mind giving advice? Also, Thank you for posting this..I needed to know that i'm not the only one.

I liked this so much. I am 7 years late but i can feel what you say in this poem. I also believe we have similarities in out writings.

Very sad and something many of us can relate to in some way. This poem is a great way to speak out so keep writing. Your voice will help a lot of people...

Thanks for putting up this entry in my contest. There are no words for the horror and sadness here.

The idea for this poem was for it to seem like everything was going too fast and barely made sense. It may have hindered some readers but i have complete confidence in them.

It's simple and it's heart-wrenching to know that people get away with this. You told your story the best way you knew how.
