Why Don't They Believe Me?

By briana 40

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

When everything first happened, I was worried, scared, and upset. But now that they say that I'm lying, They've turned me into a slut. I never thought that I would lose, So many friends over this. They said they'd always be here for me, But now I've been dismissed. I get so many strange stares and looks, I try to pretend I don't see them. And now when it comes down to my true friends, I realize that most don't see me as the victim. No one really understands the pain, The grief and stress I feel inside. Sometimes I feel like I can't take it anymore, Last night, like every night, I cried and cried. I keep telling myself it will be okay, And it will get better real soon. But the harder I try to convince myself of this, I fall farther away from the moon. I sit at home and cry for hours, It never seems to fail. I keep all of my feelings all bundled inside, Imprison them like a jail. Why can't they just believe me? Inside I know they know it's true. I was raped by a boy I considered a friend, He was just like me and you. Written October 7th, 2001 © on Oct 07 2001 01:35 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
