whether injury by accident or design
when injured the impulse is oft to malign
the injurer
except
for some reason I've yet to discern
when sex is involved
and then some people yearn to place the blame
on the one who names names
or on the one who can't
who can't stomach the thought
who know they can't change the past
so why relive it again
why face their rapist
or the one who harassed them
in ways big and small
and if they come forward or retreat to repair
what business of yours at all
except compassion to share
