Several years ago, before I was married or had children, I was raped. It was a very hard thing for me to overcome. I wrote this poems a day or two after the incident and at the time I wanted it to all be over, even if that meant death. If it hadn’t been for my husband I probably wouldn’t be here to write this today.

As I lay me down to sleep,

I hug my bear so I won’t weep

I may die before I wake,

so I pray the Lord my soul to take


No more moments in the dark

Reassure me, cure me of his mark

Black and blue bruises  around my neck

you’ve done things to me even the Devil would regret

As I draw the water for my bath

I close my eyes and drown the wrath,

I draw my knees tight to my chest

At last this night is gone, my final rest 


No more will he force upon me

for I am safe, safe within my sea

No more will he press upon me

I am free
