In and Out...

gasp.
breath.
inhale.
exhale.
in and out.
in and out.

the contents of a memory almost forgotten.

sweat.
moans.
groans.
friction.
in and out.
in and out.

the satisfaction of a prize not rightfully yours.

touch.
pressure.
texture.
colors.
in and out.
in and out.

the twisting of someone elses sheets, the creaking of their bed.

push.
pull.
ripping.
tearing.
in and out.
in and out.

the buttons of a protesting shirt flying to an unknown floor.

smack.
grab.
pleading.
screaming.
in and out.
in and out.

the cries of a helpless child falling on deaf ears.

tears.
pain.
confusion.
intrusion.
in and out.
in and out.

the premature losing of a word they have yet to learn.

twist.
hit.
turn.
burn.
in and out.
in and out.

the striking of your fist, the breaking of their undeveloped bones.

black.
blue.
white.
red.
in and out.
in and out.

the losing of conscienceness, the mixture of bruises, scars, and hospital lights.

pulse.
line.
shouts.
staff.
in and out.
in and out.

the the rushing back and forth of nurses and doctors, the sound of a flatline.

suits.
dresses.
stillness.
silence.
in and out.
in and out.

the presentation of an ignorant world, approaching and leaving a smallcasket.
the end of a short story.


roughly 1/3 of the children molested are under the age of 12. only about 35% of sexual abuse is
reported. and about 80% of the time, its someone the child knows...

1 in 5 violent offenders serving time in a state prison reported having victimized a child. and 2/3 of all prisoners convicted of rape or sexual assault had committed their crime against a
child.


stop the ignorance.
