This poem was written by me about 5 months after I was raped by a friend of mine's boyfriend. Rape is a crime. It doesnt matter what a woman wears, or how she acts... If she says no than it becomes rape... If a friend ever confides in you that they have been raped, believe them and be there for them... They need your support not your critisim... Remember, Rape is Never the woman's fault...

Powerful statement, great courage, and I can tell the healing has begun; when you can take back your power and refuse to let someone have control over your life you are recovering. Not forgetting but recovering! God bless you!
