Rape: Case 304 Poem by Atef Ayadi

I said:

''This is who you are,
how you feel about things
your emotions,
your responses,
your channels,
your self-concept and self-image,
your core values,
your priorities,
your ideals,
your compass, and
your map.''


I told her also:

''most of the time, I can see, hear, and feel
someone else talking and behaving within you,

sometime, you are yourself.''

She said:
''Why you are telling all of this? ''

I said:
''If you do not know
enough
about
yourself;

your life would
to be
a bugs of confusion and
cases of rape,

and you would be the master mind
of your own irony.''
