“Be gentle with my emotions,
As I used to be scared to feel,
I was forced to hold them in,
Not allowed to say what was real.

Be gentle with my mind,
As it was once warped and twisted,
Made to believe the falsities,
That the cruel person insisted.

Be gentle with my soul,
As it was once broken beyond repair, Tortured, trapped, used and wasted,
Thrown away without a bloody care.

Be careful with my body,
As it was taken without my consent,
Only through therapy, tears and time,
Have the memories come to relent.”
