Wretched

Poem about a mentally ill person who molests a child for years

Be afraid, run away

if he approaches

He will tell you he knows you

tell you to trust him

 

Don't trust him

even if he is Grandpa

The rest unexplained

Until you are older

 

Exploitation

Molestation

Possession

Confession

 

Sickness runs deep

in the rivers of his mind

He dreams of things past

wants to remember

 

The diary with strange and bizzare

explanations point to his guilt

His true self shines through

inky and black

 

The deeds inflicted

on the flesh of a child

The sickness imposed

on the mind of the innocent

 

Deception

Desecration

Perversion

Collusion

 

Innocence fractured

Confidence smashed

Future complicated

Existence altered

 

Appalling

Devastating

Warped

Wretched

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

My mother and best friend were both molested by their fathers and I wanted to express some anger I feel about how this influenced their lives.
