Rape
May 13, 2016
It happens everywhere
even to anybody.
You rip and you tear
While it destroys your body.
They think that you’re lying.
But what they don’t see
Is when you lay in bed crying.
If only they could see.
It automatically becomes your fault .
All you can ever think about
Is what if you could have fought.
And still, there’s so much doubt.

your strength is admirable.. keep writing; it is a great coping skill.
This poem, i wrote after being raped, when i was raped i didnt tell anyone for 2 months because i thought nobody would believe me. Sure enough, nobody did. I thought to myself, all these thoughts. Not even my own mother believes me, nor my school counselor. Some of my friends, the ones that watched me wear sweatpants and hoodies for two months, the ones that watched me not eat for two months, the ones that paid attention and knew the real me, and knew that wasnt it.
