impure acts of retribution. acrostic challenge

I haven't written many acrostics lately... I was trying to try other styles, but this one happened so quickly in my mind, I couldn't resist penning it.





Infected with your games of
Manipulation and seduction
Professing pleasure when it's really power- I am
Unclean and seeking redemption;
Reparations for the acts that left me
Empty and licentious, with an

Anger that breeds self destruction...
Chastised by those who don't understand the
Terror instilled in victims of
Sexual violence.

Overwhelmed with guilt
Feeding into shame and

Responsibility for actions no one could control
Even perpetrating the same learned
Tragic deeds on others
Repeating the cycle, reparations for
Impeded healing, and
Being forced to deny the
Undeniable- left
Trembling with trepidation.
In a once peaceful dream, fairytales shift-
Once upon a time becomes once again, and
Nothing ever changes that…
