blame the people who hurt others

Linds M. Crate

i wish i didn’t
have to remember this,
but i still carry
these wounds;
i wish that i could just be free
the past could set me
loose—
yet i guess sometimes we must remember
so no one can ever hurt us the same
way again
because there will always be villains
so we need to be
better heroes
stick up for people instead of minding
our own business,
and be there for those who are wounded and hurting;
yet i see it every day
people blame the victim because it’s easier
to say boys will boys than to take action—
it makes me sick
that people have to be broken and dying
before anyone takes notice
when will we start blaming the people who hurt others
rather than the victims?
enough is enough.
