They

by Danielle E. Kirchner {Cancer} - Not entered

The first time I didn't know what was going on.
The second time I didn't want it to happen again.

The fifth time I tried to go home -- I was scared.
The sixth time they made me come back.

The tenth time I threatened to tell.
The eleventh time it happened again.

The fifteenth time I told.
The sixteenth time they did it again.

The twentieth time they tried to involve my family.
The twenty-first time I never went back.

I was at peace.
They never bothered me again.

Reason for writing:

    I wrote it because I was molested from the ages of 5-8.  My 
english teacher had us all write poems about people that 
give us strong feelings, wether they are bad or good.  I 
turned this poem in and got a "B".
