The girl that used to be me
Who was I before?Β
I remember bits of me but I'm not the girl who used to be me.
She's gone, but at least I'm now free.
i just can't find me.Β
You took me that night, I should have screamed, put up a fight but I just froze. Now you haunt my dreams. I never new pain and shame like it , I tried to escape but this was rape.
you took my strength away. I didn't want to live another day.
The sun had gone away. The sky was black .
I stared at myself and could only see cracks.
im no longer safe anywhere,
a innocent smile from a stranger , I feel I'm in terrible danger.
I hide in my house , I'm safe here , I just want to be the girl that used to be me!
Invite her round for a cup of tea!
Let her remind me of how I would laugh and chat, and dance and sing and love ! Β I want her back , I would do anything to go back in time and stop you from committing the crime. And taking my shine away .
I hope one day she comes back , smiling , happy and free .
The girl that used to be me.

Aww thank you so much for your lovely reply ? And warm welcome.
I like to write my feelings down I find it helps . Thank u xxx
I don't know.
But the woman I see in this poem is a person of tremendous courage and talent. Someone who is brave and honest enough to stand up and write about what happened to her...and someone talented enough to do it in so artful a manner.
Someone courageous enough to then put that out into the world...
It's perfectly understandable that you want to get back 'the girl who used to be you'. I hope that you find a way. But, in the meantime, take a look at the girl who wrote this poem and put it out in the world to share her experiences with others.
Frankly, she's pretty magnificent!
As is her poem...
