Not a Victim...

I am not a victim but,

I hear my niece tell me about being teased in her class on her looks.

I am not a victim but,

I hear my girlfriend tell me about being followed by a strange man.

I am not a victim but,

I hear my female cousin talk about cheating husband but she stays cause of her kids.

I am not a victim but,

I hear my sister tell me about the unwanted touches by the guy we call brother.

I am not a victim but,

I hear my mother cry about the abuse when she looks at her scars.

I am not a victim but,

I hear my daughter tell me about her abusive boyfriend.

I am not a victim but,

I hear my best friend tell me she was seven when her brother's friend touched her, and said it's okay.

I am not a victim but,

I hear her tell me how they held her down while she fought.

I am not a victim but,

I hear justice but nothing being done.

I am not a victim but,

I hear cries, screams, shouts, words and yet I hear nothing.

but I am not a victim.
