When I was a kid I thought nothing could touch me.
Politics?
What are those?
Murder and rape wont happen to me.
Abortions were a thing women did but I didn't care.
NOTHING COULD HURT ME.
I.. I was invincible..
But things changed.
Turned 13-14 and found out
Some older men like little girls.
So they trace their disease covered hands over their pure young skin
Leaving scars on them that no one can heal.
I was babysitting a young boy and his neighbor invited us over
I had no idea what I was getting into..
My innocence was stolen on that day right in front of the boy and all I could do..
All I could ever do..
Was blame myself.
I told him to stop, that it was enough then I sawing him eyeing my little sister..
Me and her never saw eye to eye
But to let a beast steal away her sanity like he stole mine??
I don't think so..
So I kept my mouth shut and bided my time till one person finally
drew the truth from my lips..
My dad and stepmother never believed me..
"Attention is what she wants"
They always said..
For months after all I would hear during arguments were "says the girl that lies about getting raped"
This was from my father!
The man you think could very well be superman when you were a kid!
I took a bullet for my sister and for that little boy and let this old man steal what innocence and sanity I had left and to this day they wont let me live it down..
To be continued.
