    Poem Commentary

    I want to dedicate this poem to all the little girls and women who were raped by someone they loved and trusted. I don't know why you had to go through that horrific ordeal, but i do know it was not Gods intent. If this has been your little dark secret, free yourself and tell your story to someone so it will no longer keep you hostage.............

    Little Princess

    You used to call me your little princess
    so, i didn't think twice when you fondled me and went up my little dress
    you told me i was special and your touching me was our little secret i should never tell
    but i didnt know that the promise i made that day would keep me locked up in hell
    As i got older you began to penetrate me as i lay in my bed asleep
    the scars and wounds from that ordeal run through my soul it's so deep
    In high school my teacher brought the movie "The Color Purple" for the entire class to see
    Afterwards i pulled her to the side and said, "I'm Mrs. Celie"
    At last I thought relief, i was gonna finally be set free
    but sadly to say, she didn't believe me
    my father impregnated me twice with his seeds
    but because he was a Reverend and well respected in the community, no believed he did the deed
    But DNA proved he was the father
    and i was not longer labeled a liar
    Many people argued i should have taken that ugly family secret to my grave
    but i freed myself from that heavy load being courageous and brave
    today my kids are slowly dying from a rare degenerating disease they acquired from me and my fathers close genes
    I often ask the question, how can a parent be so mean?
    I pray and ask God every night, when will this nightmare end?
    I lay in my bed and silently scream when? when? when?
    But i tell you i have learned to praise God even as I go through the great storms, because the bible promises that joy come in the morn.......ing

    Very deep and very sad. I'm left speechless. It was very nicely written, and I repeat, very sad. Good job writing it.
