Tears are always running down my face.
I hang my head low thinking, “What a disgrace?”
The tears are coming from all the damage you caused.
What do you want now, a round of applause?

I’ve watched you rape and molest me right before my eyes
Now the only thing left to do is cry
You stole my virginity without my consent
PLEASE tell me why this is the way it went

All I wanted was for you to get off of me
But getting you off of me just wasn’t that easy
You hit me in my face then ripped my shirt
Then you pushed it in to the point where it hurt

I remember it like it was yesterday
Answer this, will I ever forget about this and be okay?
The thoughts are crucial & all I can do is cry
Sometimes I just think then ask myself “why didn’t I die?”

The bastard didn’t care if I lived or if I died
All he cared about was being satisfied
I feel dirty, I feel low, I feel used
I’ll always know that I’m a victim of sexual abuse!

We talk to our children about many things… the importance of education, the dangers of drugs and alcohol, etc… We may even mention to our little ones that no one should ever touch their private parts and we assume that if anyone ever did, that our child would tell us. In addition, we teach our children to never talk to strangers. The problem with stopping there is that 90 – 95% of children who are sexually abused know the abuser. These sexual predators of children are not strangers in most cases. The fear is that by not talking to children about sexual abuse, parents may be unknowingly and unintentionally enabling their children to be “easy prey” for the many sexual predators out there.

You cannot equip or protect your child from sexual abuse without becoming educated on this crime and then talking to your child…specifically about…
