Rape

by Natalie   Mar 16, 2008


As it pushes me to the ground,
My every all riots,
Riots, as it fights its way between my legs,
Tearing ruthlessly at my clothes,
Exposing my nudity,
So innocent and loved until this very moment.
Oh! This dreadful and inhumane stab of pain,
Created by God as a gesture of love,
Is used tonight as a gesture of hate,
Created by Lucifer himself.
My endless pleas,
Fall emptily on this beast's soul,
The stabbings continue,
The torture delays,
As I try and fail hoplessly to make it stop,
As my hate of this life grows.
As it reaches its end,
I feel the seed of the devil flow within me.
As it stands up and leaves,
Leaves so unheartedly, so calmly and contently.
I once entered this room as woman,
And now leave as a broken child,
A child with no will to live,
A child with no faith in humanity.

    I felt extremely close to this poem, for reasons i do not want to disclose. what can i say you wrote beautifully of something which is not beautiful at all. the words you used, teh imagery and the metaphors it was an amazing piece of writing.

    the emotion behind this i can feel from my very heart, and every word is true. rape is somthing which destroys you, takes every little piece of innocence you have left and rips it to shreads, its disgusting, and the people that do it our blooming beasts and should be locked up, or killed.

    Created by God as a gesture of love,
    Is used tonight as a gesture of hate,
    - this is a very strong part in the poem.

    I feel the seed of the devil flow within me.
    As it stands up and leaves,
    Leaves so unheartedly, so calmly and contently.
    - and this is a great great metaphor, and i have never heard it before, or even in this context, it was a great piece of work.

    possibly to be critical you could make it easier to read by putting it into stanzas, but then again, this block a writing, helps with the flow..showing it happened quickly, although it may have felt like eternity for the beasts victim.

    a definite 5/5 from me

    I can feel your emotional pain seep with anguish through these lines.
    Though never a victim of rape I can feel from your penned pain, the torture it plays not only upon the innocent body but the also the mind.

    Stripping one of their feeling of self worth, and losing all hope in humanity.

    How anyone who calls themselves human can do this? To built themselves up (in power) to suck the life and dignity from another is punishable I think .... by living all of eternity in the pits of burning flames.

    I sure do hope that this is not a personal experience you have endured here hun. But if so please know that such a monster will never reside within the gates of heaven nor find peace or forgiveness for such action.

    Many and most sins can be forgiven but rape to me is one that will forever be crest upon the soul of such a monster.
    Do not lose faith in people hun .... there are some (though it seems fewer and fewer these days) who are still compassionate good people.

    A very heart touching read ....
