Poems Of An Introvert //Poetry//

My secret

They say "Time heals all wounds"
That certainly wasn't in my case
I feel its a white lie
Just told to numb the pain....

It still remains a detailed memory
Just like it happened yesterday

I can never seem to forget how he tip toed ,
Into my bedroom .
But a fact that he didn't knew
I was partially awake
Tried to cautiously spoon me but failed
So crawled up to the other side
I could feel his breath every other second
But couldn't simply oblige myself to make a serious movement.....

Meanwhile, his actions got bolder
Dared to snake one hand under my clothing
Started feeling and rubbing something hard on my little one
When I didn't even know if it meant something.....

NO MORE, I decided finally
So with the biggest force I could possibly gather ,
Slapped him across the jaw
Which sounded enough to make him flustered.....

But then again,
The little me was foolish enough,
To let this matter go
Cause he was someone I took for a brother .
Convinced myself ,
It was just a play, he set for me to get annoyed.

He smiled at my reaction,
And I ignorantly laughed it off .

Now , Carrying a thickening rock
Thinking what else could have happened
And I still am having anxiety
Left with some numerous questions that followed;
Like how many countless other times it had been,
When he saw me as a powerless prey...
He saw me in a vicious way.....

Inspired by a true story of a close friend:

This is an issue reoccuring every second of a day. This needs to end. No one gives us the authority to mess up someone elses life when ever we want and how ever we want.
We need to take a stand .
I hence convey this message through this poem.....

Sex education is important . Most probably should be taught a bet sooner than is taught in many countrys. So that our children remain safe and atleast understand what's happening in a situation like this . Transparency should also be maintained with the parents . Hence , they would feel sure and confident enough to report the incident....
