We were alone at home
Maybe i should have not been there
We were alone in a room
Maybe i should have gone through the door
We were alone in bed
Maybe i should have screamed
I was alone naked
Maybe i could have said something
You were telling me not to say anything
Maybe i should have
We hanged out many times alone
Maybe i should have made up an excuse
You made me your pleasure
Maybe i should have not let you
You made me watch things that haunt me
Maybe i should have turned around
You made me touch myself
Maybe i shouldn't have listened
You filled me with lies and illusions
Maybe i should have been smarter
You made me hate myself
Maybe i should have hated you
You made me cut myself
Maybe i should have hurt you
You made me get in trouble
Maybe i should have made you go to jail
You made me like girls
Maybe i should have told you that
You made me lie
Maybe i should have never learned to
You made me not trust anyone
Maybe i should have never trusted you
You made me do many things
But what can I say?
It was sexual abuse

I laud your bravery and your poetic talent!
But I can't help, wishing
Fate could have saved you from the pain
that yielded such, impactful lines...
(What can, a man
a stranger, an object of your logical distrust
say or convey, to try
and appease, any of your hurt..
sadly
all I can do, is offer these words
of support, and try to imbue
a little more kindness in your life..
stay strong, dear Poet
anchor your hope on something
that can never fail, you
like your sense of self worth!
curate a life
that will shine, so iridescent Bright
your past nightmares
will be but a shadow of a memory
to a past, you utilised
to affirm your worth and path a life
for other, brave survivors
to learn from and use as an example
to heed and follow...!)
thank you!
for choosing to share
and allow others to learn, they
are not alone, a most priceless
gift, you offer such a cold
world
thnx i appreciate all your words of encouragement. But i also think that its important that others who have gone through this know that they are not alone.
The evilness of grooming is overwhelmingly apparent .
Please be strong and remember you was a victim of innocence .
I went through this with my dad and Uncle. I also kinda went through it with my mom. I know how it feels. I should have done something but didn't.
thank you for all of your comments & those who also went through something like this i understand but even though I still sometimes feel bad that i didn't say anything I try to remember that it wasnt my fault
