Congratulations, Rebecca, on your contest win and what a way to mark your first milestone! Your poem is beautifully powerful. It speaks completely from the heart as it describes your emergence from utter fear to triumph of the soul. Its beauty is in the simplicity of your words and the way in which you allow for the reader to read between the lines. My favourite, most stirring stanza is the penultimate one. Very, very impressible and a virtual six from me. Take care Debbie

I'm glad you won the contest. I am a survivor of acquaintance rape in college which effected my entire adult life. At 58, I finally am beginning to heal. I understand your words of power in spite of what's happened to you.
More power to you,
Alex

What a betrayal! At least you got your feelings out into words, and I feel that you have moved on from that horrible experience. I wish everyone knew the boundaries of sex and love, and honored them. If they did, the world would be a better place. But, I also hope you brought him to justice!

This is an immensely powerful poem to have as your opening post on Fanstory, Rebecca.
Firstly let me offer you a warm welcome to our family and hope you will enjoy being a part of this group.
Next, the poem.
Poetry can be so cathartic in expressing and purging emotions and you show immense personal bravery in taking hold of your past and showing your power to not let it consume you.
Your final stanza says it all. By declaring your truth, you have the power over it, to conquer it.
Tim
The scenes you describe are not to be dismissed and your voice is heard.

A) exceptionally powerful post. B) this honestly made me sick reading this. Im so sorry this happened to you. You know that moment a movie hints at something horrible without outright showing/describing it in detail? Yea.... that's what this made me think of. I hope your career takes off/flourishes on here and you contine to heal through the catharsis of your writing. Blessed be 🌒🌕🌘

Your poem is deeply moving. The way you built the tension from safety to fear was so well done. Each line carried such emotion. I really admire the strength in your words - especially in the shift from victim to survivor. The final stanza was especially well done. What a wonderful first post! Welcome! This was an unforgettable read.

This sounds like some sort of abuse here Rebecca, someone you trusted who broke their trust and did something to you. Your poem is full of suspense and terror, I welcome you to Fanstory, love Dolly x x x
