Analysis of Mental Scar



I screamed for help, I begged for you to stop but you paid me no mind,

I kicked you, I fought you; shouldn't that have been a big enough sign,

You held my hands and pinned down my legs just so you could get some,

I got loose and I got strength; where at first I didn't know where from,

You gave up, I hurried and got up and begged you to take me home,

You took me home, I cut you off and everything I felt for you was gone,

I have flashbacks, I have dreams of what you done and the evil person you are,

It's been six months since then and I'm still left with this mental scar.

My name is Stephanie and I am 37 yrs. old & I have a loving boyfriend named Brandon. I have been writing ever since my freshman year in high school (1999). Most of these poems on here are ones that I wrote years ago. Writing is my second passion that I do when I need to pour out my feelings about love, heartbreak, family, etc. So I hope you enjoy! Deuces!! more…
