The Abuser

Black Willow

It's on the news, it's in the graveyard

It's on the TV, it's on the podcasts

Everybody wears the same name tag.

 

It happened to me, but I couldn't speak.

I happened to me worse.

The first time it happened, I didn't bleed,

just simply bewildered.

Later on when I was harmful

I sought it night and day.

Both the monster and the victim

in my body I played.

    Although not necessarily sexual there is a vicious cycle of abuser and abused carried on from one generation to the next. This poem leaves this feel. Well done.

    This one hits a bullseye.
