It knows no class,
no color,
has no real creed.
Unwanted. Intrusive. Invading.
It touches, feels.
In places.
Sacred places.
[part of the woman's temple]
Places that,
Should never be touched,
Not without
Consent.
Pain, tears, angst.
Guilt, unfathomable guilt.
Why?
Why?
Why?
You see it.
Elsewhere [you think]
Not here.
Close to me.
BAH! [you think]
Accept it, you must.
Deal with it, you must.
Fight it, you must.
Violation.
Abuse.
In any form,
Verbal, physical, sexual.
Must be realized.
Before too much
time passes.
Before.
Before.
It comes close to home. [that oh so cozy home]
What will it take?
Mom? Sis? Soulsister? Your mate?
Don't let it.
Take a stand.
And speak out. [YELL!]
Fight the guilt. [why me?]
Fight the pain. [things hurt sometimes]
Fight the tears. [*sob*]
Fight for the future. [YOUR child]
And the hope,
That no other feels it.
