Just Cause I'M Sensitive, Don'T Give People The Right To Treat Me How They Feel Poem by mona martinez

How do you be sensitive?
When all of your life,
you were force to be strong?
Showing emotions,
were just a sign of weakness,
it the reason it so easy,
to sometimes put on an act,
and pretend everything ok,
it what you have been doing,
your whole life,
because the people around you,
made it seem like it was wrong,
that it the reason people take advantage of you,
people took advantage of me,
because they wanted to,
not that I was sensitive,
how I am,
don't give people the right to do what they want,
it there choice no matter if I believe easy or not,
even if I have a mind of my own,
they will still make the choice,
to try and change it if they wanted to,
who I am has nothing to do,
with what choices people make,
I wasn't sexually abused,
because I believed everything that was said,
I was sexually abused because I was a child,
the people that was suppose to protect me didn't,
it wasn't because of who I was,
so why do people make me feel like it my fault now,
I'm choosing not to do nothing about it now,
because of the fear behind it all,
how does that make it my fault,
to not want to deal with something so painful,
I would rather avoid it,
than have to face it head on.
