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.
