To My Rapist
To you, you do no wrong. To you,everyone wants to be with you and wants you. Thats not the case. Perhaps you realize what you did but your ability to accept and admit is overcome by your overwhelming pride and fear. You have a fear deep inside that something will be done about what you did. Of course, you dont need that. You win. Unfortunately nothing is going to be done because to be honest, I dont want to see your face again. I already see it every night before I fall asleep. Plus I believe you will get what you deserve. I hope that one day you take the time to realize what you did and it haunts you like you haunt me. Every guy has a girl in their life that they would do anything for, that they would take a bullet for. Imagine to yourself that this girl was in the same situation as I. There would be no pushing it aside. But all girls around the world have to deal with it everyday. They have to push their thoughts and feelings aside and try to make it seem as nothing happened. Truthfully, you have ripped out all ability for me to trust again. You have changed a strong, beautiful, trusting woman into a woman who is scared. She is so scared of everything because it could lead to the one thing that she never thought would happen to her. She is scared to go and be among the crowd because every guy there ..she now questions. She is scared to leave out her doors because she is scared she will run into a guy like you. She is scared to be alone because thats when she is most vulnerable. Thats when she starts to remember.
This woman can no longer trust. Because to trust is to have a person prove themselves to you. And every proof that you were a respectable man has fallen and crashed into a billion pieces. If one guy that seemed to be trusted can do that..then what about others? Are they creeps also? Do they want to hurt you too and take away your strength and willpower? This makes a woman feel so alone, used, abused. I hope that you are proud of yourself. You go around and pretend that nothings happened while everyday I live with the fact that it did happen. I hear your name and it brings me back. I hear another sad story of a girl who was hurt like me and it takes me there all over again.
I believe that you will get yours one day. And you will remember my face and I will haunt you like you have haunted me.
I hope you never forget what you did.
Statistics on Rape:
Rape is about power, not sex. A rapist uses actual force or violence — or the threat of it — to take control over another human being. Some rapists use drugs to take away a person's ability to fight back. Rape is a crime, whether the person committing it is a stranger, a date, an acquaintance, or a family member.Whatever happened, it wasn't your fault. No one has the right to have sex with you against your will. The blame for a rape lies solely with the rapist.
Sometimes a rapist will try to exert even more power by making the person who's been raped feel like it was actually his or her fault. A rapist may say stuff like, "You asked for it" or "You wanted it." This is just another way for the rapist to take control. The truth is that what a person wears, what a person says, or how a person acts is never a justification for rape.
Most people who are raped know their rapists. That can sometimes lead the person who's been raped to try to protect the perpetrator. Make protecting yourself your priority; don't worry about protecting the person who raped you. If you want to report the crime, do so. If you don't feel comfortable reporting it, though, you don't have to. Do whatever helps you feel safe and heal — without blaming yourself.
