TW: This poem is about my experience with sexual assault as a child so it could be triggering for some people.
My body clawed,
Countless times,
Countless times,
Without consent,
My dignity torn,
My honour ripped,
Their hands created,
A person I resent,
The covered mouth,
That cried for help,
The innocence snatched,
From a playful child
Etched in my mind,
Their ruthless actions,
Their soulless eyes
How they maliciously smiled,
My confidence morphed,
Into never ending insecurities,
Every mirror yelled,
" You're used and impure!"
"It's not your fault."
Reassured my heart,
My mind attacked,
"I'm not so sure,"
In welcoming solitude,
Silenced screams are let out,
"I'm dirty"
"I'm dirty"
"I'm dirty" she sobbed,
Then I wipe my tears,
And nail the mask back on,
The world ignorant,
To what they robbed.
