Survival

The sex was happening to
The little girl
She participated
It’s her fault not his
He didn’t know
He was doing it
To the little girl
She let it happen
I didn’t like it
I liked hearing things he said
He showed an interest in me
He made me feel special
I know I’m not so
I’m angry with her for
Believing it
Why did she let it happen
It’s not his fault
Be angry with her
It’s her fault
Be angry with me
I didn’t stop her
I didn’t know what she was doing
I didn’t know what she was feeling
So please
Don’t make me describe it
I didn’t know anything then but
I’m beginning to know now
Who am I blaming
Who am I
Who is she
Who are you blaming
Me her or them
