News from the youth

It's long but give it a read

I’ve been updating less and less

Thinking a lot about the press

What the meaning is behind the screen

What it truly means to be on the TV

All the talk of Sexual assault

Mostly from adults

What do I know I’m just a small-town city girl

Around the parts I grew up in

You hid in the bushes before you were jumped

Seven kids in the corner speaking of rape

While the rest sit there and debate

Journalism, a pride and joy

Why doesn’t anyone focus in on it

Assault done to children by other children

That’s the kind of world we live in

We all shut our mouths and close our eyes

Keeping quiet about the night

Praying that we don’t lose it tonight

One by one we all drown

No longer having anything

Jumped every other day

Rapped every other night

No means no, so stop the news

We speak out about the church

Screaming about the perverts

No one noticing when it starts

Some know, no one speaks

It all started from when we were the children playing in the field

Telling jokes and admitting we were of a certain orientation

They always used it as the excuse, saying well you’re such and such

They said we are the same, don’t fight a good thing

So no one spoke of the other person in their sheets

Wow, you really speak the truth. Out loud and Clear. Good on you Ne. Speaking up about sexual assault. No one should have to be put through or subjected to this. No one. You should be allowed to walk freely and be safe. But like you said. You are not nowadays.

[Ace Jaxon]

So I spoke out and hopefully one day someone will put a stop to sexual assault.

[Onlyme]

I do agree. They should be shoot.

you truly encapsulated the terror of sexual assault and i'm very sorry you had to experience that. the predators can't take all the victories for too long, we literally have to spell out 'no means no' to boys in order to prevent this violence. no one speaks up enough, but i'm happy you did :)
great poem! stay strong :)
