A-l-m-o-s-t
-------------------------------------------

She drifts through life so innocent
thinking of the great romance
Until one day she meet a champ
so it seemed in her ignorance

He walked the stage, golden in his self glory
white smile as he told stories
She never thought, She never guessed
That it all was done in jest

Mistaught she began to notice things
like his words with the hollow ring

Mistrust she began to feel when
he pressed close, hand clasping her waist

Misdeed His mistake, when her, he began to case

Almost was my theme
because I remeber not even trying to scream
as he pulled my hair, I scratched his face
Time Ticked The Dying Race

I refused to let him see my fear
as he fought to pull down my underwear
fought to claim me
fought to a fevered pitch
until with a few well placed kicks, a right hook and a brick
I was able to finally end it.

Almost in a dream state
Sunday morning, I thought of heavens pearly gates
As I sat in church and watched him
parade on that golden stage

In a purple costume
dressed to assume
His carefully thought up place
He sought to dismiss
a ALMOST rape
because a leader
a pastor
one who leads the church
coudn't be touched by such dirt

I've finally met my beast and she
came forth waiting for the kill
I Almost forgot...
I am a Warrior still

So,
Now I wait, I bide my time
because I know
as his blood flows
The time ticks
and because of it
I'll have my chance
To take his life
from his hands...









This piece is not for the faint of heart...

I began writing this in the third person, but the circumstances being what they were, I reverted to the first person aspect...

I was not going to share this, but a very good friend pointed out that it would not only be healing for myself, but for others who have expierenced the same.

If you find yourself in the latter, please feel free to
contact me.

God Bless
