Good Little Girl Poem by sharon wischkaemper

Good Little Girl



The first time I recall him putting his hands on me I was three.

Me, with my legs split wide open like the Serengeti.

He, like an animal tearing at my flesh

I was not ready

for the shame that came when I realized

I was not a good little girl for keeping his secrets for him.

I was thirteen the first time I tried to cut him out of me.

I was much older before I realized he wasn't worth dying for.
