Linds M. Crate

i don’t know why people force little kids to hug people they want to hug or be kissed by people when they don’t want to be kissed, i feel like everyone should have a right to their own bodies; sometimes people don’t feel right—since you took from me things i wasn’t willing to give, i have been really funny about being touched; and i don’t quite like it unless i want it—i think it’s ruined some of the relationships i’ve had—some would say that you didn’t get anything from me so what does it matter? i am used to people blaming the victim, i can only imagine what they’d say about me because you didn’t get sex only kisses; they’d tell me i was overreacting or to get over it—they don’t get to decide just like you didn’t get to decide that you didn’t hurt me because you did, and i am not going to be forced to sit in silence anymore; i was made for more than holding these nightmares—i am a daughter of light and love, will burn new stars into the heavens for people like me so they know they are not alone; i am not going to be afraid anymore because of men like you.
