I am still here.
Tho you tried your best.
My cuts,
bruises,
and pain
will all subside.1
However,the memory
of all that you did,
of all that you caused
will stay forever
within me.2
Because of you
and all you did
I no longer trust.3
I no longer feel comfortable
around others.
I am always on my guard
expecting a hit,
a pinch,
a bite,
some kind of pain.4
I find that when someone approaches me
I tense up.
I find that I am on guard
ready,
expecting,
something to happen.5
Know this
that I have survived!
That I will
in time,
come to terms with all that
has happened to me.6
But know
that I will never forgive you.

This is an awesome poem! I know someone really close to me who was abused and I just want to say, this poem is something he can relate to. This poem made me think about him and I thank you for that.

This was such a good poem, and the picture matches so well with it. It brought tears to my eyes, knowing how it feels to be abused. It has a lot of emotion, and it really is great.
Good Luck in my contest!
