Your assumptions causes me to shake, to become another,
The confused son, friend and swaying brother,
Scars live with shadows; don't turn off the light,
Monsters blur ethics and call it right,
I don't speak much at school,
Confused by each contradicting rule,
Teachers and other students stand in front of me,
Despite this, a source of help I fail to see,
Kicking a football in a distant park,
Alone with my father, not enough of a spark,
I pray to a god I can't believe in,
Wanting him to take a family sin,
I turn away from each policeman,
Strings do more then control each hand,
They influence patterns, something strange,
Love, my parents have to share,
Different methods to ensure I know they are there,
Your assumptions causes me to shake, to become another,
My father didn't rape me, it was my mother.

perception of the abused child, they live by what you think, that the abusive parent has to be the father, people need to admit that woman, that mothers out there can and are just as abnusive as the fathers.

People need to see that woman can be just as bad as male abusers. I admire your bravery and I must say that this is an outstanding poem. Great job and the twist in the end was a true finishing touch.
