Wrong Seduction...

We talk about rape...
In all it's pain, anger portrayed, devastation, pain...
However, one of the truest forms of rape,
Is the seduction of the young,
The tapping in to a young person's fears,
Needs,
Wants,
Anxieties,
Lack of Self-Worth,
Alienation,
Then offering,
Something,
Anything,
That is wrong but can feel good,
Creating, conflicting, confusing feelings,
In a Developing body that can betray,
If touched in a certain way,
Saying the words that can confuse,
Making them think they made a choice,
When it was a seductive voice,
Saying come let me show and,
Tell you what I can do for you,
Kiss it,
Make it better,
Never leave you,
Will take care of you,
Over and Over again,
Then walking away leaving,
The child open to the next seducer,
Seducer,
Wrung dry,
Until there is nothing left to seduce...
Except the empty shell,
Not knowing how it ended up in,
Hell...

THANK YOU! You have captured the underneath sentiments at the heart of abuse of children. You have illuminated an unpsoken reality.
You words are powerful.

"the truest forms of rape,

Truer words have never been spoken. Then the victim becomes the victimizer in a vain atempt to slay the demons of the past. Mea maxima culpa!

Peace and Love,
