For Me

He made advances towards me again tonight.

I wish he would stop.

It just isn‘t right.

I don’t know how to make him see.

That just the thought of having sex, terrifies me.

Yet, every time I tell him no.

I can see the rage.

Perhaps, his need for sex, has to do with his age.

For, he is three years older than I.

Still, when I say no.

I shouldn’t have to explain why.

I don’t know how much more of this I can take.

When I know, giving myself to him, would be a mistake.

There are too many things, that can go wrong.

Perhaps, he and I, just don’t belong.

A teen pregnancy is not in my plans.

And until I am ready, he will just have to understand.

If he cannot, then I will have to set him free.

For, I refuse to give myself to someone, just to satisfy their needs.

When that time comes, and I am ready to take that step.

I will do it for myself, not anyone else.
