A plea

This is the poem that I wrote after my ex-step-father beat and raped me and I finally started coming out about it.
Almost 10 years later, I still cringe at the thought of him. I still get worried when I am left alone with an older guy. I still have the mental and emotional effects.
But I continue to stay strong and share my story.
If you have been in this predicament, just know that you are not alone.
