(909) Violated Poem by Melvina Germain

(909) Violated

Rating: 3.2


You’ve been hurt, beaten, raped, taken advantage of.
Scared for life? Is this really true, will you
let the perpetrators have the best of you. I think
not, you must not seek revenge, for then you will be
allowing them to have you over and over again.

Be patient, remember these words “Vengeance
is mine, I will repay, says the Lord”.

Sit back, live your life, God does not need your help.
He will act in his time and you will surely see, what
great powers the Lord has when He acts on behalf of
thee.

There is no man or woman bigger than God, so put
all your trust in Him. You will live your life full of
happiness once again.

“Scared for life? Is this really true, will you let the perpetrators have the best of you. …” at first I thought you meant “scarred”, but then I read more. it could be scarred OR scared; perhaps both! “You’ve been hurt, beaten, raped, taken advantage of. Scared for life? Is this really true, will you let the perpetrators have the best of you. I think not, you must not seek revenge, for then you will be allowing them to have you over and over again.” in the above lines, starting at “…you must not…”, it seems you have moved from one good piece of advice to another, but if that is true, perhaps two stanzas could be used. And, although: ‘revenge may (to some people) be the Lord’s’, would you consider it revenge if the victim reported the crimes, pressed charges, and tried to get a conviction? ? if so, I think more crimes will be allowed/ promoted, which, TO ME is a crime! ! ! bri :)

Good Lord Melvina, I hope and pray that you are right in this excellent piece you've written....People violate us, rip our guts out taking what is ours and we are left to pick up the pieces. It makes it difficult to believe, especially when what is rightfully yours, and others as well, is beaten down, one by two by three to the hundreds....trying to hold on of what's left of what's been taken from me....what was my very heart and soul. God bless and keep you safe from such and thank you for these words...............love, marci.xo

Mel, another wonderful truth you have told here. We must put our trust in God to help us on our way. We must live our life to the full and enjoy all the happiness it may bring. Top marks and thanks for sharing your wisdom my friend. David
