<p style="text-align:center;">A violation of my body, heaven only knows how many times it’d already, happened, while I was asleep, when you’d come, kiss me goodnight, and run your hands up and down my back, the way parents would, soothe a young child!</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A violation of my body, that, was what you’d done, and, when I’d, confronted you about what had happened to me as a child, you’d, DENIED its (the events???) existence, and called me a LIAR, and told me to STOP spreading those nasty rumors about you.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">A violation of my body, I now remember, VERY clearly, what had happened, but I still have NO idea of the exact age I was when it’d started happening, I only know, that it’d lasted, until I was, OUT of your reach…</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Then, the memories that were formerly, blocked out by my mind, for SURVIVAL’s sake, all came flooding back up in my late twenties.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">Nobody is ever going to, VIOLATE my body again, because, it’s my body, and I can and have ALL the rights to say “NO”, and, if anybody touches me, in ANYWAY that makes me uncomfortable again, I will have every RIGHT to SUE for R-A-P-E! I will NEVER let that slide, nor will I ever be, as forgiving, as I was, still, way too young, to tell them “NO!”</p>
