a poem of being overpowered of having your choices taken away from you |
He raped me Cause I said no He didn't listen Cause I said no He stole my choice Cause i said no He raped me Cause I said no I went with my friend To be her cover story Didn't know that at the time And didn't know it would hurt me It was getting late But she was still lonely Waiting on her man Her lover her baby There were no more buses around Couldn't get home We had to spend the night So far from home I thought he was my friend So i wasn't too nervous to share his bed When dark came And everyone was asleep He made his intentions clear He was the leader, and i the sheep I fought I wrestled I twisted and turned But he was a man with a hot iron And i was going to get burned Shame and humility I don't know why,kept me from screaming From the top of my lungs I was scared and ashamed For something i had not done I lay motionless as he stripped me of my rights Kept telling myself Big girls don't cry He pumped and he grunted To his satisfaction I could have been dead All he cared about was getting some action Eventually he rolled off And over to his side According to Tanya Happy,content puffed up with pride I survived that night And the years after But I was a different person There wasn't the same ring To my laughter That was when I started My decline to hell Do you really think it would have mattered If he'd spent a few nights in the cell? He'd already stole What was not given I can only pray now Eventually i'll get to heaven. |
