A Child Was Hurt Poem by Amy Louise Kerswell

A Child Was Hurt

Rating: 5.0


When I was a child you hurt me.
I was nothing but a mere girl.
I was only 5 years old.
I couldnt fight you couldnt fend you off.
A child was hurt.

A child was hurt for your fantasies.
That child was me.
I was only a wee girl.
A child was hurt.

It used to be a cool place to play.
It once was my faviorate place to go.
But you took that from me.
As well as raping me.
A child was hurt.

You said it was a game.
I knew it was rong.
It didnt feel right.
I begged you to stop.
You looked laughed and carried in.
A child was hurt.

A child was hurt.
I was so much smaller than you.
You towered over me.
You had the power.
And you didnt care.
A child was hurt

i child was hurt and i cry for her now, because i knew someone the same. I love this poem, it is so sad, how you knew it was wrong and wanted it to stop, acted like it was a game but he carried on.... Powerful words. I advise you read the book 'Our dirty secret' it's about a girl who was raped also and her journey. My heart reaches out to you. My powerful poetess friend, your pain outshines my own and i look at yours and wonder 'what have i really to feel sad about? ' I love it. thankyou for allowing me to read that part of your heart.

So many of us have been abused, damaged, and changed forever from what we might have been. I was never raped, but sexually abused in other ways, viciously beaten, and mentally scarred. Recovery has taken a lifetime (I'm old enough to be your Grandmother!) and a lot of grinding work. But through the help of God working through wonderful people, good medicine (I still take Prozac every day) , and learning to forgive, I feel whole. God bless you dear, on this long, painful journey to find the happy and authentic YOU!
