Poetry: Rape trauma

by Caye Colbert

Created on: March 19, 2007   Last Updated: May 14, 2007

"Fix"

Yes it hurts
for one more fix
I don't care
pain reminds me
I'm still alive.

Do what you will
just a shell
make it hurt more
nothing sacred here
help me forget this
go ahead
betray me
I've long gone
it's not me
you're looking at anymore
this is just a mask
use me
make me bleed for you.

It doesn't hurt now
there's nothing left
Dignity
Empathy
Love
all have passed
and more
this isn't my body
these aren't my tears
for one more fix
this doesn't have to be me.
