To Brock Turner
I’ve heard of guys like you my entire life
The type to dumpster dive
Instead of revive
There were times I wished I’d died
If I died, you would’ve taken everything
Including my voice
Your Dad must be so proud of you
Your Dad will stay defending you
Your Dad is partially to blame for teaching you to take without asking
Or to ask without listening before taking part in
This family disease that you’ll pass down to your son
I hope you have daughters
You may not be able to swim
But you swam inside me for days
My body,
my mind
I guess your Dad was just happy that you’re such a good swimmer
Sincerely,
I may have spoken out, but I will have trouble sleeping and I always will
