A message to the readers: Abuse, Sexual Harassment, and allegations, etc. is a serious crime and is wrong. Nobody should be harmed in any way: Mentally or physically. It pains me that there so many women today they continue to be hurt or are disrespected. I wrote this poem, for the women out there that continue to be in pain and are facing a nightmare. No one has to be alone.

I washed my hair last night,

Believing that you would be gone,

The smells and stains would disappear,

I scrubbed and scrubbed until I had enough,

Hoping there’s enough soap to cover every inch of my body,

To cover every place it hurt,

I dried myself off and crawled into bed,

But I woke up the next morning to find,

That your smells and stains were still there,

There wasn’t enough soap to get rid of you,

But I’ll keep scrubbing.
