The Silent Cries

Is it my fault that that happened?

Some say no but some say yes

Who should I believe then?

Is walking in the street at night a crime?

Then why does no one say the same to boys?

I’m so confused

And unsure of what to do.

The perpetrator says that he couldn’t control it

And the jury gave him a sense of empathy

But what does that have to do with me

When my life is in ruins already?

I’m a young girl,

But so what?

No one has the right to touch my body

Even if I’m alone and dressed pretty. 

This world turns a blind eye to my pain,

Some people seem to accuse me of disgrace

But what could I even do

When all I could see was the darkness which I can now never undo.
