This poem is a bit more personal than what I typically share here and by a bit I mean it’s incredibly personal, but I believe in the title of this post. When I was in college I used to always tell people, if I can write one poem that reaches one person, I have done my job. If you have been a victim of s*xual @ss@ult, this may be a painful read. Please take good care if you choose to click the link. Also, if you need a friend, you can reach me privately on my contact page. Deepest love and strength to all of us survivors. This poem is titled, “Dignity is Not an Easy Acquisition”: https://holygossip.substack.com/p/dignity-is-not-an-easy-acquisition
