I Am Poem

I Am

I am the victim of a rape
I wonder why the police never believed me
I hear the yelling of my family ringing in my ears
I see the flashbacks that bring on the tears
I want to turn back time, and just change my mind
I am the victim of a rape

I pretend to be happy, no matter what I feel inside
I feel broken and useless, like I'm not a person
I touch the picture of the Mom who used to love me
I worry he will come back for me
I cry because I realize nothing is fair
I am the victim of a rape

I understand that life is not always fair
I say I'm fine, when all I want to do is cry
I dream of a day when I can leave my past behind
I try to not let nightmares get the best of me
I hope for my family to fall back together
I am the victim of a rape
