I was just a child No more than 8 years old, When you touched me You ripped off the clothes i had on And tried to take my virginity I struggled And struggled Untill i got free from the Cheap beer breath And horrifying monster of a man That you have become
I ran into the bathroom And hid Until my cousin The one you were supposed to have been in love with Came home to a crying mess of an 8 year old Who was in the bathroom Hiding from the demon
I didnt tell anyone for years I didnt feel like i could After all You didnt take my virginity away But you took everything else away from me
You took my trust away You ruined my self esteem You took your stained knife and tore me too pieces You took away my peace of mind And instaled the fear of being touched by you again Touched by anyone again A fear so bad that I didnt tell anyone about you Until you were gone
Yet some people tell me My mom, My "friends", The media, Just because I was able to pull away Just because i was able to keep my virginity I cant feel this pain That i shouldn't And that the ones who had such a precious thing Taken away from them deserve to feel it To be open about it
So for years i stood silent While others spoke up Because im a person Who was molested But im done being controlled So i stand with my fellow broken men and women And chant
"Me too!"
I felt like i needed to get this off my chest. For years i felt like i couldnt say anything about being molested because their was alwayd someone saying "well my pain is bigger than your pain!" "well i was ***** so im worse off than you!". Why is this a thing? Why do people feel the need to tell people who were molested that since they "didnt have their virginity taken away" they were better off? For years i cried myself to sleep, and for years i could imagine his hands still on me but yet im not supposed to be upset about that? I dont get it. Im not trying to say "oh people who are ***** need to shut up" or "blah blah my pain is worse blah blah", im just saying that people who were molested should not be critisized for speaking up, neither should people who were *****. **** and molestation are both terrible and it needs to stop. Pronto.
