I’m a young woman who has learned not to cry much for fear of it being seen as a weakness , one who has been known to go for 6 months or longer without shedding a single tear. However, in reading the simplicity and raw emotion of this poem, i have been brought to tears.

Not only is it relatable, but it becomes personal. I’ve suffered much abuse at the hands of those who were supposed to care for me, supposed to love me.

Three years after I won and escaped, I still struggle like hell to forgive them for taking my innocence, for the abuse suffered at their hands. But you have put into words that which I wish I could do. Forgive them every passing day, no matter what they did in years gone by. more »

Beautiful, well written. I love poems, more so writing than reading them. However, I’m glad I read this one today.

Beautiful.
