[hometext] => Trigger warning: sexual assault
[bodytext] => My teachers said that we had to talk about what happened We had to talk about what you did to me and it would be okay because," You were just a boy," and all of those other excuses Like the word boy could be synonymous with sexual harasser or like the word was somehow a literal get out of jail free card I guess I can't be mad because in the moment I believed her I mean I believed you too when I saw you crying weeks after But now I realize that you were never crying for me but for you The boy who treated physical contact like a game of baseball and kept running for all the bases even after I screamed foul You cried because you thought you had found a quiet girl and maybe someone who would let you break some of the rules I guess that in the end you were sort of right about that part They asked me if I wanted to press charges and I said no because I thought that maybe this was a one-time mistake and that you deserved another chance, a chance to change But in the end you never did change, at least not for the better And you know who really deserves another chance any girl Any girl that might have to deal with you like I did in the future So for that reason I'm sorry I didn't make you feel any guilt Any fraction of the way that I felt so you'd never do it again And I'm sorry that I didn't tell that teacher she was wrong and that the word girl isn't synonymous with submissive That I should never blame myself for or excuse his actions Because I am not responsible for what happened to me and I feel a strange sense of anger and pity towards the girl who thinks she should have dressed differently or acted differently once he has done what you did to me and I'm sorry to the next boy who doesn't understand that His actions make him more than " just another boy" [comments] => 3 [counter] => 197 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Lydthon15 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
