“I don’t blame you”
“You were young”
Influenced
Verbatim
You said while still ******* me with your eyes
You called me a liar
In the same sentence, you asked me to change in front of you
Into a blue and green bikini
I asked if I could change in the bathroom
You said you wouldn’t hurt me
You were an adult
And your job was to protect me
I wonder if that’s why your daughters left
Because you protected them too much
You made me stretch out on the floor
I can’t say I was naked
But I think I was
Because you wanted me to do situps
Then you wanted to blow on my stomach
But said you couldn’t because I was too old
You asked me what the worst thing I ever did was
I panicked because I didn’t want to get in trouble with anything I said
So I said something about my friend
And how I ditched her in third grade
For another friend
You said the worst thing I ever did was lying about you watching me in the shower
When I was in fourth grade
It was weird
Because no one had ever monitored me while I showered before
No one had ever opened the curtain and directed me
I was a big girl I could’ve taken my own shower
While talking to my mom about it years later
I found out you lied
You told her you were outside the door
Not the curtain
The worst thing I ever did
Was not telling sooner
