Steering her own yacht July 1, 2024
Then as now
She needs control
To be the person
In charge of her
Own life,
And not to be
Under anybody
Else’s thumb,
Even the rape
That must still
Haunt her,
Is less about sex,
Than being
Taken advantage of,
She had already
Given into his hits,
He wanted more,
Treating her
Like a puppet,
Drugging her so
He could pull her strings,
Had he just keep
Hitting on her,
She might have given in,
After all she had
Already said “yes”
The first time,
She might have said
Yes again,
Only it was never
About yes or not,
Giving in or not,
He needed to
Manipulate her,
Which must have
Scared the bejesus
Out of her,
More deeply even
Than the act itself,
She needing to steer
Her own yacht,
Needing to choose
Just whose name
Was in her daily planner,
Not having it
Thrust upon her.
