Stove

Someone messaged me today "So since its over with why don't u just drop it?... I know it's hard but I would just be glad he's gone"



If your child wants to touch the hot stove you're going to slap his hand away tell him that is not ok. But what if no one ever tells him it's not ok to touch the hot stove? What if we lived in a world where no one knew you couldn't touch hot stoves or if they did, didn't want to tell anyone else? It sounds silly but still, That child is going to just keep trying to touch that hot stove over and over, because no one has told him he shouldn't, until eventually he burns himself.

or kills a girl.


It sounds silly because everyone knows not to touch a hot stove. right?

but than again "everyone knows" you shouldn't abuse/assault.

A Scary Way To Think

A couple people have brought up to me, What if your abuser wants revenge, decides he wants to kill you, if he sees all this?

If he wanted revenge or to kill me, at least that might be actually enough for him to get charges..

Then maybe they would believe me.

That's a scary way to think.

When I enter a building, my home, my school a thought always races through my mind what if he's there.

That's a scary way to think.

that if he killed me, maybe they'd believe me.

You don't deserve to blame yourself

How I feel right now.

This is why.

 

 

 

 

little girl eyes

Little Girl Eyes

Little girl eyes

so little and yet so big,

full of dreams

wanting to grow up a little too fast

They see the world too

Little girl eyes

paper thin models

perfect smiles on magazine covers

busty, tan celebrities on TV

They see everything

Little girl ears

yearning to learn

to listen

to understand

They hear the world too

Little girl ears

You're too fat to play with us

You have to wear this to be popular

You'll never get anywhere in life if you look like that

All the deafening critical words, the judgment

They hear everything

Little girl mouths

big smiles over little lips

laughter and singing

Want to tell stories and question the world

They speak to the world too

Little girl mouths

I hate my freckles

 I wish I was blonde

Why can't I look like her

Why can't I be beautiful

They speak everything

Little girl mouths

It is impossible to escape

It is all around them

so much

To see

To hear

To speak

Things must change

Because what's a little girl to do

Could anything really change?

In front of these

 Little girl eyes
