NO!
she screamed until her throat bled
NO!
she cried to empty ears
NO!
she called and begged
Until someone opened the door
And pulled off the boy
Molesting her-

That's the version my mama would have liked-
Over what did happen
That's the version my sister,
Who holds herself back from beating him into the ground every time she sees him
Would have liked
That's the version his daddy will never come close to seeing as a possibility
Because a seven year old girl is capable of lying
Of describing things she'd never seen
Or thought of before
That's the version he was happy she was too naive to create...

I didn't know
When he told me to lie down
And he perched himself on me
And grated his pelvis into mine
What he was trying to do
I didn't know
That he was lying when he said
I would get into deep trouble if I told
That it was my fault
That I was bad
Just like him
I didn't know
That we had different parts
Until he took advantage of that ignorance
I didn't know
It was wrong
It was horrible
That I could say no.
That I could say stop.
That I had a choice.

All I knew
Was he was older
And he told me to do something
So I did it
This is a poem about rape, you have been warned!
