9 Is The Day Of My Birth

9 is the day of my birth-

9 is when I arrived here on earth not knowing my complete worth-

9 years old possibly younger 6yrs. for sure I have been being molested by Harry next door-

9 years or more older, bigger, and stronger than me was he-

9 times or more he lied to me saying he loved me-

9 times or more I was told to keep it a secret-

9 times or more he said no one would understand-

9 times or more I was to remain quiet and not tell about this child and the man-

9 times or more I wondered a man was doing what he did the way he did-

9 Harry lied to this kid who trusted and believed in him, and his lies-

9 he said, no one must know, and he would wait one day to make me his wife-

9 times or more he said that one day we would wed-

9 times or more he would take me secretly to his bed-

9 times or more he would have his way-

9 times or more he would give me a quarter when he done cum and then send me on my way to play-

9 times or more how my 12 yrs old heart broke on his wedding day-

9 ways or more onward to self-destruction loathing myself I would take through the painful years-

9 or more ways as a woman the many men I would bed-

9 times or more no trust, only lust, no love given no love to give-

9 or more ways to smother the hellish hurt and soul killing pain-

9 times or more thinking that I was made only for men's pleasure and use thinking it is why I am here-

9 times or more I would not just say NO! plus it felt so good to have the attention that I could feel even though it was not real-

9 or more times I thought myself to be the slut and the low down hoe-

9 ways or more to hate myself more, my promiscuity grew ya know-

9 or more ways to deal with life struggling to vanquish the rotten mindset and to forgive myself-

9 times 6 plus a couple years older, spiritually wiser yet I be, so I have healed, and thank God I can forgive Harry for molesting me.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this for all the women and men who were molested as a child by someone they trusted and loved... I hope and pray that they have first forgiven themselves. Hopefully, they know that they did nothing wrong. The molester were wrong, and I hope they have forgiven their molesters... If not, then I do hope that they are working toward that goal...
Seek counseling it may tend to help! Tell children that it is ok to tell if they are being touched by anyone that makes them feel uncomfortable���.

A cry from the heart of an Innocent who had one of Life's Most Horrible Atrocities committed against her. Child Molesting is Cruel and horrible. It strips one of his self worth, making the individual an emotional outcast, afraid to love and trust. It really needs to be condemned for the Evil that it is. It's refreshing to see the Poetess rise above the bitterness and learn to love and trust again
