Listen To My Story

An Intimate Poem

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Listen To My Story

Been disrespected

Dishonored

Raped

 

Just have to tell someone!

I have to tell my story

 

Someone has to know

I’ve had to keep this bottled up for too long

 

It’s burning a hole in my soul

Keeping this inside of me

 

My tears are just welling up

I just have to get this venom out of me

 

Hold my hand and listen

Please don’t judge me

 

Just listen

Hear my life story

Holy, that is intimate. Excellent for sure!

The distress in this screams out loud and desperately. It makes me feel uncomfortable reading it.

[Patches I'm not so new..]

This is shall we say "revealing?"
I know things that you say here happens to many. I believe that I never met a woman my Love included that wasn't mistreated at one time or another in her life. All I can say is I'm ashamed that this was brought on you by a member of my gender. There is nothing more abborant to me that a man forcing himself on a woman or child if I had my druthers all of those who did so when they are caught will have a fair trial and if found gulity exicuted forthwith within a week

Wow, you have such courage to admit those things, but it's a blessing that you came thorugh that. i like how you have the words in a big fontas if your'e yelling them out or something. it's good to share how your'e feeling cuz sooner or later you'll exploid if you have it bottled up inside.

I think this seems like just a beginning of a much longer story.

[Gone]

This is a good start. A call for help? If so read my poem 'That room' and you will know I have been there. If you want to talk more, I am available to listen.

I'm here please take my hand, unburden yourself on my rocky shores. For I cannot judge I hold only empathy, well written
