Ptsd poetry anyone?

I mentioned earlier about a poem I wrote about being sexually assaulted by another boy. We were both 17 at the time. He was one of the bullies who made my life hell by forcing me to wear a panty girdle under my school uniform - he always seemed to get a weird kick from the fact that another boy was being compelled against his will to wear women's corsetry, and one day he lost it and forced himself on me.

When I tried writing about it a year or so ago I didn't intend for it to get so explicit, but the words just poured out onto the page. I thought long and hard about posting it here, as I didn't want to upset anyone who'd been through something similar, but I've just discovered the spoiler functionality, so I figure it's safe to hide it in a spoiler block.

So read it at your own peril, as it leaves little to the imagination.

he steps forward and his lips press against mine
invading tongue probing...exploring...conquering
instinctively I recoil, repelled by the obnoxious intimacy
his eyes sparkle in the sunshine, but the smile on his lips leaves his eyes untouched

the sun glinting on the knife in his hand
speaks ominously of a greater intimacy to come
his left hand on my shoulder presses downwards
and my eyes widen in terror as understanding dawns

I fall to my knees, lips quivering, tears falling
whimpering as I watch him fumble at his clothes
unable to control his excitement, desperate to free himself...
till finally the condemned man is shown the instrument of his torture

the knife blade is cold against my cheek, silent yet insistent
sobs wrack my body as I reluctantly part my lips
and he guides himself towards the entrance
his hands behind my head slowly pull me closer...

in this far corner of the schoolyard,
overfilled industrial bins spill their garbage
a vile, squalid setting for a vile, squalid act
as we merge and become as one

my eyes bulge in horror as the invader breaches the gates
muffling cries of shock as it enters, impaling, skewering
moving relentlessly forward, insinuating itself ever deeper
stopping only when I start to gag and retch

passivity is not an option, submission is not enough
the ubiquitous knife demands cooperation, engagement, enthusiasm
under his triumphant gloating leer, I moan with revulsion
as my lips and tongue enfold him in a warm embrace

as our bodies fuse into a profane whole
clouds pass over the sun as if in sympathy
determined to shroud this abomination in darkness
conceal my shame from the eyes of the world

only sounds reveal the developing obscenity
sighs of pleasure mingle with sobs of anguish
as his eyes half close, his hips begin to move
and we start briskly mating in the shadows


...time flies by, yet time crawls...

fighting every instinct, I try to work with him
praying it will help speed him to a finish

...minutes like seconds, yet minutes like hours...

hands grip head, hands clutch buttocks
securing our bond as we vigorously copulate

...in the wink of an eye, an age is passing...

hips pump, phallus thrusts, lips purse, tongue licks
such commonality of purpose, but such diversity of motive

...time loses all meaning...

lungs suck in air, brows bead with sweat
two minds focused on a common goal

...and all too soon, though after an eternity...

the rhythm quickens, the thrusts become frantic...
a geyser erupts, ejecta spatters...


cries of ecstasy mix with cries of disgust
that which is expelled with relish is received with loathing
hands on head grip tightly, as flailing hands push impotently
coupling is maintained and separation is denied

bodies shudder and eyes fly wide open
an unspeakable tableau seems frozen in time
facial expressions of delight and agony indistinguishable
as a reservoir drains and a cavern floods

he pulls out quickly, and I move to spit
but a hand on my mouth tells of different finale
I swallow hard and try not to heave
as the fruit of his lust slips down my throat

appetite sated, he dresses and runs...
the clouds part to bring light back to the darkness
and I drop to all fours, hawking and spitting
spiderweb trails hanging from my lips, glistening in the sun

Writing like this is so cathartic, I'm glad you were able to express all of that and I'm deeply sorry for what happened to you.
 
As a chubby teenage boy, I was forced to spend years wearing controlling women's shapewear under my school uniform. I wrote a poem on another site about the first morning I had to dress that way, when I was just 14. The structure of the poem is a villanelle.

Such intense shame is eating him away;
a sleepless night, his face is tired and drawn.
He braces for an agonising day.

He knows that on this point he has no say;
the time to plead, to beg, has come and gone.
Such intense shame is eating him away.

With dread he reads the bedside clock display;
grey light proclaims the coming of the dawn.
He braces for an agonising day.

So now he must get dressed, no more delay;
pick up the panty girdle he must don.
Such intense shame is eating him away.

On glimpsing his reflection, turns away;
his stricken face he cannot look upon.
He braces for an agonising day.

School uniform conceals his corsetry;
he prays no one shall learn what he has on.
Such intense shame is eating him away.
He braces for an agonising day.


I also wrote a free verse poem about the time I was sexually assaulted by another boy, but I don't think I'll include it here as it leaves nothing to the imagination and I wouldn't want to trigger anyone.
I am so sorry for your shame and humiliation that didn't ever need to be. I really like your poetic style, it really tells your feelings well.....and makes me want to read on.
