rectified:
he said I was nuts
so he slapped me
back to sanity
and bullied me
into submission
cause I had to be
rectified:
like an object that’s faulty
I needed to be hit in order to be fixed
because clearly I wasn’t considered
a human being. I had to be
rectified —
his words, not mine.
said I needed to be rectified–
his way, not mine.
*******************************************
Traumatized:
he pushed me down chest flat,
compressed me with his weight
and shredded my innocence
I screamed out
but the music so loud
drowned my shouts
as I clung to the kitchen door
till he was done and was left
abandoned in a pool of
my own tears, sweat and blood. He left me
traumatized. Believe me when I tell you
I was traumatized.
*******************************************
Vilified:
he went about telling fabricated
tales of how I did this, said that,
stole this, whored myself out—
he called me several names
and said I was no good,
I was ungrateful,
that he had done me a favour
by giving me the pleasure
no one ever would.
if only they knew
that they were lies
if only they knew
I was being vilified.
*******************************************
Neutralized:
he looked at me like
a happy meal — I smiled
knowing that facial expression
was about to expire.
I knew no mercy
so I showed none when
the growing hatred in me
chose to break free, he died
from the shot of his own gun.
he had been neutralized.
I had him neutralized.
*******************************************
Rectified:
I sat and watched his body
grow cold. Seemed I didn’t need to
be slapped back into sanity —
this was sanity: freedom. life.
My life has been rectified
my words, not his
It had been rectified.
my way, not his.

About ‘Rectified’
Rectified is a dark rap infused spoken word poetry that talks about physical, sexual, emotional/verbal abuse. The piece is divided into five parts in which the first three verses touch on aspects of abuse. These parts focus on the actions of the abuser. On the other hand, the last two verses deal with the actions of the victim.
Abuse is rampant in today’s society and there are thousands of tales that have and will go unheard. Worse, is the boy child (males generally) whose stories are hardly ever heard. It’s almost like they don’t exist. We need to stop ignoring these issues. We need to understand anyone can be abused.
When such people have no where to turn to, they will take issues into their hands. For the most part, it’s one out of two ways: Suicide or Murder (sometimes, both). It shows how abuse can turn people into “monsters”.
