MY mother told me
something the other day
I have to admit,
It blew me away.









I've been processing it
for days
Trying to find a way
to equate it in my mind








We all know there is a difference
in the levels of wrong
stealing bread to feed your kids
Stealing for profit and to get away 
with it.







Now you are probably going to think
that I have been dumb
but what I was told
 has made me numb.







This is what She said to me
"I can't believe you were raped
when you were three!"
"Their counselor told them to ignore it
and just let it be!"






I had only known
I was molested before,
so what I had been told
rocked me to the floor.







Then to push me out their door?
say I was bad
and I can't live there no more?







For days now
that new knowledge 
will not let me be.
It's been so hard 
to even sleep.






I should have realized this
years before
but there's a DIFFERENCE in wrongness
as I stated before!





how could I have been so dumb?
why does this 
make me so numb?





Yes I had been raped through out the years
but at the age of three?
how can that 
even be?





MY mother told me
something the other day
I have to admit,
It blew me away.





I can't seem to get it out of my head
I can't seem to find my footing
With all of this.





Trying to find a way
to equate it in my mind
I just can't seem
to make the knowledge 
stay in line.
