Lies

I was taught if they hurt you It means they like you I was told if boys pull your hair They have a crush on you So when they would touch me Without consent  I didn’t report it  I thought it was a good thing I thought it was normal Only to find out it wasn't  But the more I resist  The more he took I was 12, I was confused I was clueless  I was never told it wasn’t okay So I never talked about it Until my PTSD was so bad I would refuse to sleep Too afraid of the nightmares  And waking up in a cold sweat  Not yet ready to relive  That awful experience  Again, and again I was taught lies It put my life on the line Just please learn from my mistake  Don’t believe everything you hear  No matter who it's from
