I'm Not Supposed to Tell Daddy No
No means no is a nice notation,
But we are taught early on
That we aren't supposed to tell our parents
No.
Was I disrespectful that night,
When the only father I’d known up to then
Started tugging my p.j pants down
And I said
No?
Was I being disobedient
When I squirmed, cried, and begged?
Do.As.I.Say.
No!
A hard slap, angry words, silence.
No..
His hands paw at restricting clothing
No..
Cool marble under my four year old stomach
As i’m lifted and bent over the counter
No..
Scared and Confused, i'm too young
To know exactly what he’s doing with the lotion.
I’m aware, however, that it's wrong
Be a good girl. Don’t tell mommy.
I’ll be really mad if you tell mommy.
Do you understand?
