Don’t put the Blame on me ….
my insides hurt
they pain
and cramp
and ache
and strain
the memory
of what you did
I was
six
just a child
and I loved you wild
with you
I felt
safe
protected
cared for.
but that touch
was that justified?
this must be
the way its done
loving
and caring
and protecting.
yet it felt so wrong
this secret
we kept
from the
world all along
it rested heavy
on my little heart
when realization dawned
the hurt
humiliation
anger
and guilt
immense guilt
almost made my insides spill
had I brought it on?
Could I?
Did I?
Should I?
share the blame
of your unrestrained lust
your brutality
your sneakiness
your shame
yes I did share your secret
but
the crime wasn’t mine
already
Its scars I bear
the wounds
so deep
they will always be there
my tormentor
at least now
let me be
don’t
please don’t
try to
put the
blame on me ….

As my name suggests I am a "dreamer" , an idealist at heart and dangerously sentimental. I am also a mom of two, a part time business woman, a book - lover, a stand in decorator for my restaurants ,a movie buff, a social worker by training and a "change-maker". I love traveling, reading and having conversations! not necessarily in that order. This blog is about the conversations! So if you have a moment to spare. Pull out that bean bag, help yourself to a cuppa of your choice and lets chat!

Wow. What a poem from the heart. I would like permission to use this poem during some courses that I will be running which, among other things, includes chapters on sexual abuse. I look forward to hearing from you about that.
Thank you for the poem, and thank you for linking to my blog on the Weekly Photo Challenge this week.

thankyou! for visiting. Glad you liked the poem. sure you can use it! you work with adults or kids? would love to know more about your work.drop a line when you find time
great entry dear.
the agony, the pain INSIDE a little heart is something that cannot be equated to any other.
it’s sad that this goes on in all societies.
people trust blindly and the trust is misused by people with no sense of morality INSIDE their useless brains.
true amiraI its not only no sense of morality it is also sly cunning because children are th eleast likely to disclose or bring the offender to books
that’s so creative! never seen the weekly photo challenge interpreted this way. nice!
thank you! since i am not into photogarphy, got no choice but to interpret it differently. so glad u liked it
Very moving post with a powerful message. So glad you could turn your pain into helping others.
the only way to reduce the pain of something like this is by expressing yourself! If it also helps someone tha’ts an added bonus. thanks for stopping by Angelia
