I would like to stay a secret
Like walking in the dark
If no one knows you
No one cares
And No one breaks your heart*
But still sometimes I wonder,
Is it worth it to hide away
To be alone forever
With nobody to chase me down
And stay?
Should I step into the sunlight
Sit on a rock by the sea
Feel the warmth of the sun
Let someone in
To sit by me?
I’ve learned my lesson before
If I let them touch my soul
Forfeit my heart’s protection
Then they’ll break me apart
And it always takes its toll
So I won’t tell my name
I won’t go out in the day
Nobody will know me
Nobody will listen
Nobody will ask me to stay.

This relates to date rape because the poem is talking about wanting to hide and how no one notices the writer. In Speak no one minds Melinda and she wants to hide from the world.
ReplyDeleteOkay. So. Nobody on earth is going to see this but it's me. Silverfern500. Thanks for linking / giving credit by the way. I wrote this poem when I was what, 14? And this project used my poem when I was around 16. It's been an endless source of amusement for me, so thank you. Although this poem had nothing to do with rape or sexual assault, I'm totally fine with it being used in school projects. Thanks for the laughs, Kyra Hall (silverfern500)
