I wrote this after the first time I was assaulted, at 14, by some 20 year old guys that I thought were oh so fucking cool.
Stunted childhood
struck with pain and disgust
Societal ills
soured love
lost friends
a stew of it all.
Corruption and hardening
of the mind.
An innocence stripped
devoured
disintegrated.
Eyes closed to shut out life.
Dreams folded to the point of
submission
lost in a corner near the shadow
of my soul
brought there by my own unfortunate situation.
Consumed by the bitterness
betrayed by the harshness
of this thing held so nearly, dearly
to our hearts.
And my existence is fractured
by the loss of desire and will.
I cannot live without hope.
Urgh. Misfit this poem actually brought a lil wetness to my eyes here. I think you did great in writing this, it captures the thoughts afterwards and it certainly brought back a few of mine that were kinda buried there. I certainly wish I could capture things as well as this did, and once again thanks for sharing. I really wish you'd come back to GM and share some more sometime if you could, I really loved these and would love to see some others.
ditto on that girl i really loved ur poem,very nice.and i also hope youll share more with us one day...
