I sat down and greeted all of my friends 
And this is where my childhood ends
I felt a hand upon mine
I knew it was his
I wonderedwhat the problemn is
I looked to him for a response
But my childhood ended there at once
I tried to pull away but my body would not obey
I opened my mouth...but nothing came out
I hadnt the nerve to scream or shout
I told myself it wasnt happening 
That rape was a seldom occuring thing
I finally unfroze, and sat up again
I hardly remebered where it was and when
All I could see in my mind was him
A painful memory that will never grow dim
I ran for help after a year had passed
Thinking I could get some help at last
But these efforts were of no use
I couldnt prove the abuse
So now its over for them, they depart
But nobody can heal the wounds in my heart

Reason for writing:

    I wrote it because someone tried to rape me and about 95% actually did and nobody believes me that are adults and i am trying to deal with it
I wrote this for a poetry reading at school
