There was no handbook
No grand word of advice
Thrown into the judicial mix
Left to my own device.
"You're 1 in 500 in this
county alone. Chances are
you'll go back. Studies
have shown."
True though it may be
I was numb
I cringed at the slap
The implication of
Being dumb
I did not originally set out
To make a point
Yet I sit here today
Reliving a tale
To anoint
There are others out there
With tales more haunting
Not just me
Our voices will rise up
We will be heard
The abuse will stop
You'll see.
