Violated...

It scares and angers every part of me when i read of  the rape and abuse statistics in the world. What pains me is the number of these crimes that remain unreported due to religious, culutral and any other beliefes that perpetuate the violation of another human being be it Mentally, physically, sexually, and so on.


To be violated in any way slices at a part of your soul and you're never fully whole ever again. Well thats the way I see it.. Its really messed up cause everybody has got so much baggage of  their own to deal with that... Its just hard.
I have to be out about this cause it may be the emancipaition of another victim or for someone to know that you know wot... I am not the only one. I cannot even say I was one but i was NEARLY violated. Sexually. and thank God i wasn't because its stuff like sexual and emotional violation that completely transforms one's personality almost instantaeneously.


I do not know how many of you know Betty Makoni? For those of you that don't, Betty is a Zimbabwean  gender activisnt who founded the Girl Child Network. She was also awareded CNN HERO OF THE YEAR AWARD in 2009. Orphaned as a child and sexually abused, Betty Makoni has dedicated her life to protect and re-empower girls who have been victimized through sexual abuse. She and her extremely dedicated team rescue young girls and women from arranged marriages as well as assisting in women and girls who are in dire need of medical,pcychological or academic assistance..
I am all for WOMEN...dont get that twisted but there also a great number of men that are also VIOLATED it is just not out in there open.
To take advantage of someone for your own gratification, or to inflict pain,hurt and humiliation to exert your power is SICKENING. Karma is real . #justsaying.
so nehu.. I do tend to get all #emo about issues like this and when I am #emo I write to here goes:


Violated-By RuTendo DeNise (.R.)
They touched you in a way mummy said was wrong...
You were to weak to fight, the pain you felt was jus too strong...
The anger in you boils deep down inside...
You've become so bitter at times you wish you had died...
Violated in a way no amount of money can pay away...
Im sorry if my poem gives you flashbacks of that shitty day...
I hope one day you will be able to speak up and face the pain...
And that the culprits get more than they deserve to never do it again...
