Poem 1: Bite
i want to tear my skin.
i want to get rid of it.
it hurts, to know that he got away scot free.
i couldnt do anything though, not like there were any witnesses.
he had me far away from the group when he touched me.
i had no witnesses, no evidence.
my word wouldnt have been enough.
maybe thats why i froze, because i knew that if i fought back then i'd be leaving the mark.
or maybe it was because it hurt.
it hurt to know my best friend did that to me.
yet i feel shameful.
i just stood there. i did nothing.
others have gone through worse, far worse than me.
he only touched me through my clothes. others get raped.
others get groped.
im lucky i guess.
is it selfish to still cry about it?
its been two years.
why does it still hurt?
i see him everyday.
he talks to me.
that stupid smile on his face.
he even got some dumbass haircut, he looks so stupid.
god i wish i punched him.
i shoulve stabbed him harder.
i shouldve bit him.
Authors note: I was SA'd by a fellow classmate on a feild trip in eight grade. We were at some civil war event and they were firing fake canons and real guns, i have trauma with loud sudden noises so i was on the vurge of breaking down and a former friend took advantage of me. im a sophmore now.
