Carpe Diem.
Seize the day.
These words can mean so much.
These words can mean so little.
These words speak to children.
These words speak to adults.
These words speak to teens who do not hear.
These words tell you to fly.
These words tell you to fall.
These words help.
These words hurt.
These words give confidence.
These words take confidence.
These words make you want to be the best you can be.
These words want to make you cry because you can't.
Seize the day.

i know that some people..... ok most people...... won't be able to understand this poem. but it is about rape.

rape victims and sexual abuse victims and molestation victims are often withdrawn. they can't see the world, they are afraid to trust. they can't seize the day because to them, it is impossible.

'how do you know what these people feel?' you ask. well, i am one of those victims that i speak of. molestation is a crime. sexual abuse is disgusting. rape is not sexy.
