We are the kids
left alone in the midst of battlefields
to fend for ourselves.
We are the kids
living at the margin of the margins
with no one to turn for help.
We are the kids
threatened and silenced
when we speak up about the injustices done to us.
We are the kids
not counted as kids anymore because in your eyes,
we are 'defiled' and hence, not worthy of humanity.
We are the kids
trying to cope and live with the damage already done.
Do you really need to rub salt in our wounds?
TW: Sexual Assault and Rape
There has been a video in my YouTube watch later list for months now. It's about the true story behind a movie.
And hearing the true story made the hair on the back of my neck stand.
Children are already on the margins. Children don't know what to do when they're abused or SAd. They don't know who to turn to or how to ask for help.
They don't even understand half the time what exactly happened to them.
And injustice/assault against kids who are at the margin of these margins is not a fucking crime anymore. It's a sin. A sin not even the devil can forgive you for.
But I guess, abusers don't really care about God and devil, heaven and sin when they hurt others. They look for easy targets and go in for the kill.
Sometimes, I really wonder what goes on inside the minds of people who hurt vulnerable groups of people.
Some say they did it accidentally because they were angry and stressed. Did taking your anger and negative feelings out on weak people give you an ego boost? Aare you happy now?
Do you ever fucking stop to think what you did to an assuming innocent child?
And this is the world that talks about already fucking established equality and fairness.
