four letter words

if you say something as ignorant as being a switch hitter on friday nights...you deserve to have a blog written about you. thats all im saying.
okay so, here is the real thing that i’ve been meaning to write about for a few days.Its about an ugly four letter word that some people have yet to fully comprehend. This word, when used as a verb implies total loss of control involuntarily and against ones will. It imply’s everything one knows being taken from them in the blink of an eye. It pays no attention to sex or age or maturity. It is power in the ugliest sense of the word. It aims to destroy people, and it succeeds quite well. This word, is never going to be a word that will ever be okay to use light heardidly. Kind of like the N word. Its not something anyone but the people of whom it has touched have ANY right to use. This word, takes lives figuratively and literally. It creates survivors and victims and lost souls. People who encounter this word feel lost and broken for a long time if not forever. Often they never return to the person they were before. Tears fall and pain pours out. Sometimes the experience ignites a new found passion however, that isnt something to expect. Sometimes, it tears families apart. Look into the eyes of a person who has lived this word and you will see everything you never knew, and everything they lost and everything they gained. You wil lsee pain like you have never known. (this does not mean its the worst out there, its just a new breed you have never seen and could never understand, unless you have been there. Out of respect for that pain and loss, please do not use the word lightheardidly, you have no idea what the ramifications of that might be. You will loose my respect indefinitly. I do NOT tolerate it. SOmeone who has been forced to live thru it, i wont tolerate it. I am still learning how to come to terms with it all and for you to use it as the punchline to some stupid joke...nope. Thats the end of the road for our story as any sort of friends. that officially ends it.
thanx for listening.
for those curious, that word, this four letter word that carries so much pain. RAPE.
