The reason I fear men

by P'yonce Knowmore
When I was an adolescent, I screamed
No one heard me because they thought they dreamed
I continued to reach for help out there
But it was all for nothing in here.

He slowly walked in, in his shorts only
What he was doing was unlikely.
I stared at him with fear
All these years i thought he was dear.

But from what i was seeing
I suddenly knew that he was pretending.
My virginity was was taken by him that night
How I wished I could be saved by a loving knight.

I didn't give him my permission
But he obviously thought he could have a mission
A mission of destroying my life
I still don't get why he thought I was his wife.

I'm scared of men
I don't feel safe when I'm left alone with men
I fear man himself
And now I can't forgive myself

I found out that I wasn't the only one
That there are others who have gone
Because they feared his presence
"His Pres...?" I couldn't finish my sentence.

He destroyed our lives
With every one of his moves.
I blame him for fearing men
How I wished for an Amen.

I've grown up now
But I still fear men, you know?
I haven't dealt with the situation
But I think I should take a vacation
A vacation to therapy.

August 2, 2015 - 15:39 Please tell me this is fictional. It is traumatizing for anyone to go through this. I just want to believe it's a fictional fear coz it really is scary.

But god saves that daughter from everyone like him! And seeing his daughter safe, he'll get to experience the hell he did to others!! This is nothing to upvote! I feel ashamed to be a part of tat world, where ppl like this exist even! I wish the world change upside down!
