When I talk about what happened to me
Or what I went through
People often ask one of two the things
"Why didn't you go to the police"
To which I respond with
"I didn't know I could."
At the time I didn't know I could
I wasn't even sure I new what had happen to me
Or if I was just overreacting.
I didn't know that that's what I was supposed to do.
Plus I didn't want to go public with it
In case he was right and I was
In the wrong.
The second question they'll ask is
"Do you parents know?"
To which I say
"No."
Because this is every thing they had warned me
Against
I was hurt and scared and some night the only support I had was text my friends
From midnight to dawn
And I was worried they take my phone away and even now even here I still worry
That they'll be mad at me
For not listening
And for not saying something sooner
I am so scared I'll lose the friend and supports I
Have on Social media
Because my parent will blame that
Say what I child I am
And that they will blame me for it.
