i was locked up

i was locked up at the age of 9,
i was terrified of my life,
i never thought i would get through the abuse i went through,
i was locked up,
i never thought i would go through horrible experience's,
i never would think that nobody would not love me or abandoned me,
i never thought life would let me expience me getting raped,
i was locked up,
and i thought i had friends bu yet they were my enemys,
i thought i was nothing,
i knew my mom did not love me,
i was locked up for now 9 years,
i am now 17,
i am now grown,
i am now changed,
i am now moving on,
i am now killing my mom with kindness after everything she has done to me,
i am now in a relationship,
i am now loving someone which i was never able to do,
i am changed.

I usually HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE non-rhyming and non rhythmic poems but this was pretty good. The whole vantage point and the repetitive "i never thought.." and "I am now.." lines add effect. you did a very good job of conveying emotion.
