It's Not a Game

poem by: Demi-Leigh Parker
Written on Dec 18, 2016

This pain - will it ever fade?
These flashbacks - will they ever cease?
The tears - will they ever stop flowing?
Brutal. Selfish. 
Rape isn't a game;
It isn't a joke or a fad;
It's a pressing issue,
Something that should never have to be endured.
My life. Never the same. 
Relationships. Scared.
Who can I trust?
Will he do it to me too?
What about him?
Can I even trust the family anymore?
I need this to end.
It should never had started. 
I want to enjoy my life,
Without living in fear.
