Daddy, I know you love me,
Very well I can see.
Mommy, you are the best,
I want you to get some rest.
All I want is for you to listen,
Notice when my eyes glisten.
Be around to see the tiny steps,
To push him away from entering the complex.
Your brother,mamma is a bad man,
Last birthday this all began.
I feel dirty and in pain.
He told me not to complain.
Else he would be bad again.
But he is always bad, daddy,
He touches my body badly .
I am afraid to tell you,
Can’t you see it at all?
Please tell me you do.
Take this demon away from me too.
I promise I am telling you the truth.
Here I am with another poem for the Day 2 of UBC.
Difficult. We need to protect children from predators.
Talking to them is important
Right you are Amrita. We need to talk to them about consent and about any issue they are facing in general. Thanks for dropping by 🙂

Wrenching. You don’t’ want anything to happen to your children, ever, but would never suspect a family member you love and trust to be doing horrible things.
Nona,
Most of the times it is an insider and we don’t even realize. I wish nobody goes through something as horrendous as this.
Thank you for dropping by 🙂

Your poem squeezes my heart and leaves me without words.
I am amazed at how words can affect emotions as much as action.
You made my Doug. Thank you so much. Yes, words are indeed very powerful. 🙂

Reading this.
Such tough thing that happens with girls
You conveyed it through easy words
It’s such a powerful poem and tears the heart. It makes me wonder why people take complaints of their little ones so lightly.
Oh God. That’s really painful and sad. I wish the parents are ready to listen to their children.
