The Little Black Book for Girlz: A Book on Healthy Sexuality

Devoured innocence

In a moment all the petals on a rose can fall down on a cold bitter floor

And in a moment, innocence can be devoured along with spirit and so much more

In a moment your whole world can change

And anything in that moment is out of control, out of your range remember YOU are not the one to blame, so feel no shame

To whom this may concern, child I feel your agony, and I also bleed your pain

There is no reason to feel scared, dirty, or ashamed.

Don't be afraid to cry, weep when no one's there, although it sounds absurd

Because, baby, believe, all of your silent tears are heard

All your thoughts have been thought and all your feelings have been felt, you're not alone

You think everything will be alright once you insert that clip in your dome

You think that will make the pain go?

NO

Survive for the many it will happen to

Once you grow to learn how, you can help turn their silent tears into laughter No matter who is reading this, remember the world needs your smile

... once again you're never alone, but don't worry you'll eventually learn this even if it takes a little while so although your innocence has been devoured know that those mother fuckers did it because they're LOW and they feel the need to be empowered think about it, what a FUCKING SLIMEY LITTLE COWARD

RISE ABOVE, don't be frightened because your spirit still shines through although you don't know me, know I BELIEVE IN YOU

your petals have not fallen, you're still a unique work of art

and to all the tainted angels, I have a place for you in my heart

so this goes out to all the spirits that have tried to be broken

i'm speaking for the beautiful innocent people

who remain unheard and unspoken

and who think suicide is the token

I HEAR YOU, I FEEL YOU, AND I BLEED YOUR PAIN

so please listen when I say, I promise, I promise, I promise

that one day ...

Everything will be okay ...
