My Voice

My voice

seemed only a whimper when I told him to stop,

begged him not to take my pride away

day after day, after day

he could never hear me.

My whimpers became mumbles.

My voice humbled.

Until finally, I went to her, she swore to protect me,

even though he made me swear to keep it,

I chose to expose his dirty little secret.

The reality...

nothing like I expected it to be.

She didn’t side with me,

this crushed whatever remained of my dignity.

She called me jealous of her in private,

called me a tramp for letting him inside of me.

My voice muted,

moved, removed,

extracted so their version of love was no longer distracted.

This is not how someone who loves you should have reacted.

Pain in me,

all that remains in me,

the memories still remain in me.

My voice

all I can muster

all I can conjure.

My life has been a cage

stunting my growth

not my rage,

not those still pictures of him quietly stealing away my innocence.

I was only 17

still a child in mind

but he...

he didn’t stop until he was sure he found the woman in me.

He only planted rotten seeds in me

still growing

only numbing my soul,

cold.

I am the hate that hate produces

when those sworn to protect you

only come up with excuses.

There will be no peace

not without retribution,

he told me

she told me

they all made me believe

I could never

would never achieve.

My voice…

it has bought me center stage

front page

my heart

my soul

will be

saved
