The Rape Poems

    Please, do not take offense of this post, anyone. Especially those of you who have written the type of poems mentioned.
    I repeat, do NOT take offense...

    Has anyone noticed that the majority of these poems are all the same?
    I think I've read the line
    "He pinned her down
    And slid it in"
    Like 60 times.
    Usually, a little girl's daddy comes into her room. Sometimes he brings a friend. Usually, he "pins her down and slides it in". then the little girl cries and says "why, daddy, why?" or something along those lines..then she feels she's worthless and yadda yadda yadda.
    I'm being very seriouse, and yes, of course I believe rape is a seriouse matter.
    But I'm getting very exasperated with the similarity of these poems;; it's almost becoming pathetic.
    Please don't get mad, what are your thoughts on the subject (or, if you'd rather{As I will guess will be an outcome},just exactly what you think of the poster and why.....)
    Also, if anyone knows of a GOOD rape poem, that's ORIGINAL, please share the author and title...thank you all.

    None of my rape poems say thus... "The Bells Chime" was a much different write, of mine, and I think you may just enjoy the change of writing. I hate cliche things; they bother me. Why cannot people come up with their own words rather than taking someone elses?
    Well... Read mine if you want. I love that poem, anyways.

    Thanks. Good luck.

    Yeah I noticed that, but the people that have experienced it, it`s hard for them to write about such a horrible experience .I have friends that have been there, so I relaly admire those that can go and write about such a terrible memory . And the people that write about it, when it hasn`t happened to them, I guess that`s just how they express it ? >_< I don`t knowwe, but I have one poem about rape I think .
    It`s "Screwed Up Her Life" but it`s not like .. Actually telling the rape thing when it happened . I don`t know how to sey it haha
    If yu wanna read it tho , go `hed . >.<

    The rape poems are all the same because the act is the same.

    Victims use what ever they can to help in the healing process. Most use words.

    When trying to overcome the pain and mistrust that a rape victim has, their psychiatrists or therepist almost always ask them to start a journal. It's part of the process or identifying with the person they were so they can gain acceptance of the person they have become.

    There ahs to be some sort of cliche in rape poems, how else is a rape going to happen if you do not "Pin her down and stick it in." ? You are not going to ask her to lay down and spread her legs and then she does it. That is not rape. However, it wouldn't do harm to change the wording around a bit. You asked of other rape poems, I only have one that I can remember and it is Bullets Laced In Love {Italian Sonnet}. But it doesn't quite tell that big of a tragic story because it is hard for me to talk about my memories with it and yeah. I am slowly adjusting though.

    I have notied the same thing, but I think that for someone who actually went through it writing about it is the best threapy.. and sometimes people have trouble talking about it let along putting it into metaphores.
