Ignorance

Ignorance

They say ignorance is bliss...
But I can’t ignore it, not this!
This! This horrible gut wrenching shame.
Even though I am not to blame.
This! This misplaced feeling of disgust.
It was you who killed my trust.
This! This feeling of loneliness and depression.
All because of your aggression.
How can I ignore all ... this?
I know for sure I can’t use my fists.
How can I ignore all these feelings?
Can I ignore them and still be healing?

To feel, to react, to hurt...
It’s basic human instinct.
And all because you wanted under my skirt.
I quiver as I walk late at night.
All because of your heavy smite.
I flinch when my loving boyfriend goes to touch me gently.
All because you invaded my privacy.
I cut and slice my legs and arms.
All because you caused me so much harm.
How can I ignore all ... this?

The truth is I can’t.
Not many people could.
And try as I might, it would do me no good.
One in four girls will know these feelings...
How are you, honey? Are you healing?
To any girl who feels this way, it will be okay, one day.
Stay strong, it was not you who was in the wrong.
You are a Survivor, not a victim.
Even if you were betrayed by the system.
You will get through all of this but please do not tell me that, 
ignorance is bliss.
