You

You are NOT them. You're you. Be you. Trust you. Love you....Enough....To be true....To you. You are NOT The father who left you, The uncle, who raped you. And, you are NOT the devilish ways, that this evil act SHAPED YOU. You are NOT The neighbor, The pastor, nor The teacher, who touched you. The ones, who crippled your soul, and never resolved things, but just CRUSHED you. You are NOT, The SCARS, that they left, whether VISIBLE or invisible, Still all very real and Still all reprehensible! You are NOT, Their aborted child, Their sly smile, Their slick style... You are NOT a punching bag, with no one to intercede. Nor are you a starring lead, when they feel the need, to do the deed. You are NOT a trash can, for THEIR SPENT SEED!!!! You are NOT them! You're YOU! Be YOU! Trust YOU! Love YOU, Enough, To be true, to YOU!
