My first poem... written during driver's ed! It is about rape, and the consequences of. |
| I'm trapped inside this metal cage, my arms and legs strewn wide. And there is nothing I can do to mask this fear inside. His strange caress, it tempts me so. His kisses, they are sweet. He asks to go on, “all the way.” I tremble with his heat. I feel so lost, so out of place. It's Lust, I know, not Love. How did I let it get this far? Now push must come to shove. I pry away his lips from mine. He sends a sordid glance. I try to push him off of me. He takes a solid stance. “Stop!” I say, but words don't reach his ever-deafened ears. And now I lie, my truth denied, a mess of blood and tears. He took away my childhood, that ever-cursed night. I'd take it back, if I just could, my weak and helpless fight. I'd kick and scream and throw a punch. No victim would I be. I would have gotten out of there before he got to me. This metal cage, it holds me still, my unrelenting Fate. For it is but a baby born, a mass of cells and Hate. |
