They invited him to dinner, moments after he was done with me. Minutes after his hands were on me. After his hand was over my mouth, So they wouldn't hear me say no. We sat at the table. I think I was still bleeding. You asked them to pass the corn. I prayed the ****** didn't break. We prayed as a family. Thanked God for having us all come together that day. I felt the bruises form. I thought for just a second, they could be proof. But then my father laughed at me with him. I didn't think I would be believed. If I was believed, if they thought they could trust their little drama queen they'd blame themselves. They passed him the corn. I stayed silent

Family Dinner
