He took five years of her life
Not to mention something she can never get back:
Her innocence
It wasn’t like he was some abusive boyfriend
Or even just a casual friend
He was her brother
She just let him have his way
Believing his threats to hurt her if she ever told
She knew it was wrong,
But she also knew that he would turn his threats of pain into promises
Finally, she told her best friend in confidence
Secretly hoping that she would break that trust and tell someone
And she did
The abuse and rape finally stopped;
From him at least
But there’s still one person
In her family that still abuses her,
In the mental sense at least.
She’s blamed for sending her brother to prison
While he’s getting rewarded for his crime
She’s tossed aside, broken
Getting told to forgive, forget, and
Move on
She has come to terms with her past
And what was happened
But she will never forgive and forget
And it’s been so hard to move on
Faced with the risk of losing family,
She’s so tired of hiding.
If they were true family,
They’d be there by her side,
Showing their support.
But she can’t wait any longer.
She’s ready to move on.
