Raped By Life (Challenge)

By QuietlyRemembering

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

From behind the dark corner whispering to me, Telling me it will be alright and to smile in spite of life. Telling me to hand myself over and become enslaved, Because freedom isn't without pain and pain isn't without consequence. Whispering to me, Touching me and undressing me, Leaving me freezing and trembling, Cold and forgotten, Enclosed in a box, dark and shallow, Yet everyone can see me... Everyone hears my screams, But they walk by and ignore them, Pretending nothing happened... Pretending that when the sun rises again it will be over, And they won't have to hear that terror in my voice again. From behind the darkest corner, And the loneliest street, Is where life devoured me, And raped me my innocence, And my happiness Written March 16th, 2002 © on Mar 15 2002 08:41 PM PST   18 • 0 • 1
