    Getting Over It

    Getting over it

    Can you decipher the puzzle you have created?
    Can you put the pieces together you so carelessly threw on the ground?
    My life brings me closer to death
    And death is closer I feel it
    You can’t possibly understand how I feel
    You only think I am happy because of this smile on my face
    I feel what is real and that’s what you put me through
    I feel how you tore my innocence in two
    I feel how you can sit there and smile when you know what you’ve done
    I feel the mask you wear
    Because I wear the same one
    Come and take a walk with me
    I will show you my world
    Then maybe you will see how what you did affects me
    Things are different now you can see
    All the differences between you and me
    Can’t you understand that what you have done has scarred me for life?
    You were supposed to protect me
    Instead you injected me
    With the poison of your sins
    And you expected me
    To just be okay with it?
    Secrets and lies
    Of the things you have done
    I have to carry this in my life cause I’ve only one
    You gave me a burden
    And made me hard as ice
    It’s not easy to love once your innocence has been sliced
    Taken away from someone so young
    How can you live with this?
    I guess the saying that put it so well
    Is that evil comes in all shapes and sizes
    So be careful when you look into an angel’s face
    They might just have been given
    The Devil’s disgrace.

    the hurt is deep down in your heart, you've said it so well. there are many whose personalities have been affected for years by someone who has taken advantage of them, at sometime during their lives. But we've got to get over it, there are many nice wonderful people in the world , who make life worth living, thank you for sharing your thoughts, a 10 from me. ansari

    I enjoyed this poem. You put it together with real passion and precision. I can only imagine the poison of his sins. Seems very real!

    Hon I know exactly where you are coming from. I was raped by a family member at the young age of 3. I am now thirty and the fear, hurt, and disgust NEVER goes away.

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
