Why
big brother did you do it
why must you touch me the way
you did
why was it me you wanted
when you could have had others
why did you leave marks
then tried to hide
see i didnt understand
but now i do
i was 4
you should have knew
but you didnt care
but now you will
when you sit in jail
5 years of hall
and all you get is 6 monthes
but it does not matter to me
your on the list
there will not be another kid
that you will mess with
i love you
dont get me wrong
and i know you messed up
but its going to take time
to
Forget
my 4 years of hell
Author notes

5 years, I think that is, from 4-9 (or is my maths failing me again?). I think you also said 5 years in your piece.
I can understand all the questions you ask in this piece. Why me, why not someone else? Why did I deserve this?
To be able to say you love your brother shows strength. You will never totally forgive him, but you'll learn to hate the act, not the perpetrator (can't spell it).
Thank you for sharing, it's never easy.

I am just going to point out a couple spelling mistakes as this is a great write and I would hate to see it DQ'ed
'hall' - 'hell'
6 'monthes' - 'months'
'your' on the list - 'you are'
Very powerful write that hurt my heart. I am sorry you went through that hell. You are a very strong young woman for being able to still love your brother after what he has done to you.
Thank you for your entry
Best of luck in the contest
Stay safe

16th line you have hall should be hell I think?? Few other grammatical errors..Just letting you know since the rules were pretty strict and this is such a good piece...would hate to see it DQ'd.... Great job though!!

Thank you for your entry!
The emotion is this jumps from the screen as it is from your heart! My only suggestion is that you check for spelling and grammatical errors. I am so sorry for what he did to you and the unsevere punishment he received. Our justice system has serious issues. Again thank you for your entry and I wish you the best in this contest

Forgetting. Forgetting is a tricky thing; and so very rare. I hope you will not be haunted by this experience forever, my dear. Keep writing, for writing is a powerful tool against things like this.
