Bad Things


ree

I know bad things happen

to little ones like you.


Knowledge beyond years

leapfrogs numbers to 100.


Trolls and Billy Goat's Gruff -

not a little girl now

your body knows the truth


Games no longer mean

hopscotch,

Red Rover - Red Rover -


Chicken Little:

sky tumbled in.

I composed this poem to address how childhood sexual abuse strips victims of their innocence and disrupts their achievement of social and emotional developmental milestones, among other impacts.
