I am nearly 22 and have already cut off the person I have written these poems for when I was 13-16 years old. I feel sick in my stomach as I re-read the following poems, but I still felt it was necessary to publish these. I will not edit the poems and I shall leave them as they were from when I retrieved them, and I am publishing this for awareness.
TW: Pedophilia.
Watch how a thirteen year old who has met an online stranger through a language learning group got deluded into thinking that what she was feeling was love. The slow descent to insanity and guilt, the realization that something was inherently wrong with what's happening and yet it felt like the only salvation for a bullied kid at that time who had a hard time expressing her emotions.
What you're going to witness in this poem compilation is the impulsiveness of the fragile age of 13-16, manipulated by a man who is 6 years older than she is. It is a reminder of how easily a kid can be swayed, and how emotions are feeble during that phase in life. The guilt and negative feelings that consumed me at that time was greater than any positive ones. It is a point where you suspect that something is wrong, but you do not know better yet. Now I know.
Be wary of strangers, especially those who still mingle with minors despite their age. This is for the girls who are younger than 18 and are getting hit on by guys of legal age.
Beware.
