Rape
Rape
The red liquid that seethes my veins,
I close my eyes,
While my heart beats in fright,
Reclined, feeling alone and ashamed.
Taken over by fears,
Locked in my heart finally,
For many years,
This ripped me internally.
I see them in the shadows,
They took their turns,
No alternatives,
I buried the burns.
Post-traumatic stress disorder I face
I wondered if it was my fault.
For every rape and assault
Every night I stay surface.
Wondering the depth,
Of my nightly intake.
No one to listen,
To my screams, sobs and pleads.
I wish my prayers were heard,
And angels beside me,
To have ended it all,
I think it is time to stand resolute.
To ensure that
No longer can I be hurt
To take a stand that
Women should not be weak.
