A Little Girl's Story About A Janitor

by Nicole M. - Gemini

A little girl
Pretty enough
Atleast that's what
Everyone thought-
Especially the janitor
That mopped the floors
of the preschool.
The same one
That had the record
They never looked for.
He thought she was pretty enough
To engage her in
Adult activities
Eventhough she wore
Underwear with Care Bears.
He stroked and touched her
Because
It was still seven years
Before puberty-
She didn't tell
She didn't yell-
She didn't understand
What it meant
To get touched like that.
She just knew how it made her feel...
   Sad inside
About what she did
This little girl didn't understand
This shouldn't be on her head.

Twenty years later
This little girl
Refuses to be pretty
And avoids touches
From anybody
Although
She doesn't know why
Because she's forgotten about
The janitor
And his hand between her thighs-
She just knows
That she cries
When she feels dirty inside.
