Childhood Sexual abuse poem

[MoonGoddessHeart]

Have you ever felt death

Trickling down the inside of your leg

As a hand placed so fervently in your groin



Flashback

Where did my legs go?



Spiritual paralysis.

I am paralyzed

A purgatory between the breathing and the dead



I can move from one side to another

But in water my legs are floating fragments



You were that man with the hat

Stalking me inside my dreams



I was hunted

Stalked like an animal

Manipulated

An 8-year-old kill

Hung in the closet

Like a prize



I was murdered

Spiritually murdered



Your body the weapon

My innocence was a lie

A shattered truth

Your poem is hauntingly real. You were a child, I was a young adult, yet I can relate to these feelings.

@TexCat Sexual abuse is as sexual abuse... Yes, it is a sad, horrible reality.

Brilliantly emotional poem. Very deep. Captures the feeling so well. I think the first line was my favourite.
