Those Pictures (poss. triggers)

[Bill_h_pike]

I think about those pictures he took of me,
And wonder who he let see

How many perverts are out there,
viewing me and my despair

Pictures of me, young and scared,
Are on the internet, being shared

I can try to heal from the abuse,
but those pictures are perpetually on the loose

My inocence was ripped away
and is looked at everyday

My abuser ensured his face was obscured
but let everyone see mine unblurred

He didn't want to be seen
doing something that was obscene

But little [my real name] could be shown,
sitting there scared and alone

At least I will be believed in court,
Maybe my testimony will be short.

My abuser will spend a long time in jail,
but those pictures will continue to show every detail

Bill,

I hear you bro. And Shadow lays it right on the line: it sucks. But the abuser will hopefully pay a very heavy price for this. Criminals in jail LOVE to welcome sex offenders.

You will be believed in court Bill. Do you have a social services rep yet? I don't know where you live, but as I have said in earlier posts you and your parents are entitled to support and advice as you go through the legal process. And the court will understand how you feel and will make sure you are protected.

Much love,
Larry

Bill,

That's good work, your poem. I think it is something that will be of great benefit to you as well. Like so many of us have discovered, talking about it, getting it out there, helps so much.

You are right about him spending a lot of time in jail. I have a brother in law who is in jail for 15 years for doing the same thing that was done to you. He is afraid every day for his very life. In my mind, that is a very fitting punishment for someone who has done what he has.

Keep up your courage, and thanks for posting.

Lots of love,

John
