You say I'm okay. Read if you want to understand

You say I'm okay
You say I'll forget
Do me a favor
and picture this
You 10 years old now
Still a young child
And you hear the door creak open now.
You start to cry
But silently because you know you cannot make a sound.
He slips into your bed and plays with your hair
Says baby girl I don't know why you're scared
I'm proud of you
You remeber not to wear pajama pants
Now I need you to take off those panties
You understand if you don't he'll make it worse.
So you do as you're told
Lay there and comply
As he starts to touch between your thighs
You don't understand because you're only 10
You thinks this is normal after all you can trust him
He's your oldest brother
It's been happening for years
Almost every night
You've learned to just comply
So as he continues you cry some more
You don't like the way he feels inside
You remeber the first time
It hurts so much
You wish you didn't have to deal with this
So as you say that I'm okay
I want you to know that I'm not.
I had to learn to deal with being raped
And molested
By my oldest brother for years.
I want you to know that every time you tell me to cheer up
I remeber every reason why  so upset with the world
I want you to picture your 10 year old niece
Daughter
Sister
Cousin
Or granddaughter
Dealing with that
Going through that
And tell me
Would she be okay?
