Entering Confession

Entering Confession

Emotions
run deep
when memories
emerge
concerning
the
"Confessional Box"

Innocence
robbed by
force

A
Young man
sits
on a cold
pew
full of shame,
lying
in wait
for
a Wolf
to conduct
the
"Sacrament
of Penance"

When the
biggest
worry
should
have been
whether
one madeย 
it on the
basketball
team,
I was
left
violated
to the point
that my
identity
was questioned
and
Sexual Perversion
became
the leash
behind
the Pontiff
of
the Holy Grail

Wordsย 
were Prohibited
fromย  being spoken
While
Death
would notย 
give anย 
invitation
leavingย 
PUDENCY
to beย 
the inhibitor
to self
confidence....

I still can hear
"Hail Mary"
being uttered
ย from
his lips

Hash Tag
METOO
has recently
brought
dark secrets
into the light
for many
women
across the
world
This is a
wonderful
thing

There however
has
been noย 
voice
for
those
who's
Masculinity
was enchroached
upon

No Voice
only
sneers
and
laughter
ย by society

A real man would not talkย 
about these things,

you must have been gay
to allow this to happen

Orย 
That Teacher was Hot!
You know you wanted her!

Hollywood
Mocks us
and
Judges
have
been lenient
on someย 
ย predators
as being

too beautiful
to be placed
in Prisonย 

The Truth
of the matter
is
Transgressions
towards
a young

man
is treated
different
byย 
Humanity

It is like
we are
being
told
to leave
our
story
behind
the curtain
ofย  Confession

We do though
have a
voice

Can you hear my Voice?????????????????????????????????????

Hello Greg...

Some say when you are in a Relationship with Jesus you don't want to sin, many have shown that's not true in their life...

That Confessional Box, for sure you don't want to sin...

In this poem, I wanted to bring out some emotions that a Young Man feels when he has been violated.ย  Our society treats males differently when it comes to this.ย  The hurt and shame is enormous.ย  The challenge of our Masculinity is at stake.ย  I actually challenge the reader as to how they react on this material, to be honest with themselves.ย  If this was written by a woman , would it be received in a different way?ย  I think it would.
The fact is no one should be a victim of sexual assault and when they are, everyone regardless of gender, or race, the voice should be heard and taken seriously.
