Hush up, Honey

Hush up, Honey

It happened at midnight
Walking home from work
When the street lights buzzed 
And I cried, hoping for death.

It happened at my best friend's pool party
When I was twelve years old
Being taught about my body
In broad daylight

It happened at home
Because my mom was just too weak
To fight him off anymore
So she gave in

It happened on Christmas night
After all the family time together 
She slipped into my bedroom
And made me promise to hush

It happened at school
On that Tuesday morning
And no one would believe me anyway
Because he's the teacher 

It happens every damn day
In homes, schools, and churches 
When no amount of crying
Makes you less appealing to them

It will always happen
Because no one will step up
We are a silent majority
In this filthy world

You are left broken, beaten
In a pool of your own blood
Crying out for a savior
And they only have one thing to say

"Well, what were you wearing?"

Powerful write. Out of respect, not much to say. I am not innocent...but I have changed. No amount of abuse is excusable.
