Where Do I Go From Here?

[Kim]

This was written for me by a very special friend. After learning about the sexual abuse I received as a child, He wrote this poem for me. It was a blessing to me, an expression in many ways of how I felt. Please take the time to read this special poem and share it with anyone you feel it may help! I'd also be interested in sharing any feedback you have with him.




Where Do I Go To Cry?

My soul was wounded, long ago,
Can you tell me why?
Pain runs deeper than a well,
Where do I go to cry?

Darkness found me, in my room,
Assailed by many fears.
Terror knocking at my door,
And yet, I hide my tears.

Creeping in, they seek to bring,
Their lingering assault.
Spinning webs of their deceit,
Saying, I’m at fault.

Who watched the intruder?
No one saw him there.
In the guise of friendship,
Lying words, his lair.

Did they know their fantasies,
Are burned into my soul?
It seems they never realized,
How they took their toll.

Masters of the blackest art,
Using webs of lies.
No one saw my torment,
Or heard my silent cries.

Predators, in human form
Lusting hearts aflame.
Trying to convince me that,
I’m the one to blame.

Tell me why they sought me out!
Is there wrong in me?
Do I have a hidden flaw,
That I cannot see?


What is there, within some men,
Like animals gone wild,
That makes them do such evil things
To a little child?

Evil preys on innocents,
Shattering their dreams.
Using sugar-coated words,
To consummate their schemes.

No one knew the pain within.
Only God could see,
The little girl hiding there
Longing to be free.

Armor was my bodyguard!
No one knew I cried.
I was safely tucked away,
Hidden deep inside.

I must fight, to keep control!
Oh, hard I try!
Someone tell me…do you know,
Where I go to cry?

And yet ….I know that I will be,
The victor in this fight.
The love of God, will persevere,
And end these sleepless nights.
