A 20 year olds question

A 20 year olds question

By Aileen McPherson
Will I ever become whole?
The time is now to learn
Grow to face fears untold
Nightmares painting stories within
Sharing to a world
Who’ve done much
But not yet condemned.
For when a being is young
You have No rights
Your body is Not yours
Your mind is Broken Into submission
No matter how hard you fight.
For those whom seek to Dominate
Using strength of will to control
Physically taking all they want
Lying so eloquently to the mother’s
They know not the harms wrought
Upon the daughters and sons
Traumas inflicted by adults
We trusted to protect us.
I will never be truly whole.
