It's Not Your Fault

Rape

By N APublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Here's something you may understand

I was dealt a shitty hand

I've been raped

And there was no duct tape

Just the weight of someone who is much more

Holding me down to the floor

While you feel so small and weak

All you can do is speak

Plead

"Please"

But it falls on deaf ears

"It's okay"

Now sends a chill of fear

Hold yourself because another's touch is pain

Don't even know their name

Of the one who did this to you

Made the whole world lose its hue.

Not wanting to speak out

Feels like there's nothing to talk about

"It was my fault, should've done this"

But that's the point that we miss

It's not your fault.
