Letting Go

I was sexually abused by my uncle and I wrote this peom not long after the first time it happend. The poem is about how I was crying out silently hoping someone would hear me.

Im letting go of these feelings,
letting go of my dreams.
Your words cut strait through me
Leave this be, let me be me.

Im crying out these tears of blood,
bleeding everywhere, Im trying to stop but it's beyond my control.
Im crying out to you can't you feel my pain.
Everything is falling around me.

I can't find my voice, you took it away.
Your touch makes me want to scream out in agony.
Uncontrollable fears come to mind making my body tremble furiously.

Im crying out these tears of blood,
bleeding everywhere, Im trying to stop but it's beyond my control.
Im crying out to you cbna't you feel my pain.

Im crying out, out to you, can't you hear the pain in my voice.
