The Conversation

He’s a lovely teacher,
A brilliant man and son,
One of the favourites in the family,
Always seems to be having fun!

No he’s not how he seems

He’s so loyal to his girlfriend,
No.. - he would never hurt a fly
Think about all the children
Who he has taught and inspired

Please listen to me
You’re lucky to have a cousin
Just like him he’s so polite
Never got into trouble.. because he never got caught 
Not even a school fight!

So what is it you want to say?
Because we will never believe you
I know. Teenage girls always lie
He would say so too .

If you would give me the time of day
And not worry about our family’s reputation
I would tell you what has destroyed my life
If you’ll even listen to my explanation 

What is it you want to say you stupid girl?
May as well say now I’m feeling jolly
I don’t have much time so go ahead
He sexually assaulted me.

Difficult enough to have to relive the assault in revealing what happened. Harder still to prove this to family because the cousin is the chosen one. Horrible. Such strength in your words.
