He smiled at me and said 'here, take this'

It was a happy little pill of his and it would feel bliss

I smiled and gave him a kiss saying, 'thank you baby'

But what happened next forever will drive me crazy

Next thing you know I was spinning in my head

Then he wanted to bring me to a bed

His friends walked in and wanted more

So they all called me a ‘***** little *****’

My body was numb and I couldn’t move

I let out a scream but they didn’t approve

Everything went black but then again I woke

But to them it was nothing but a funny little joke

They locked me inside of a walk in closet

So if there was a stir I sure wouldn’t cause it

I blacked out again and woke in a different place

Treating me as if my soul were missing and my body were a case

Still I was unable to move nor speak

But he still said he loved me and kissed me on the cheek

I counted five inhumane beings on top of me moaning

One was even playfully groaning

I was disgusted and wanted it to end

But I knew that after this my mind would never mend

By now it would have been a little past three in the morning

Earlier I should have taken that adorable face as a warning

When they realized I was sobering up

They had an alibi saying they’d call this a hookup

When I could finally move my mouth again

I realized what had happened and felt heavy chest pain

They heard that I was muttering words that were incomprehensible

They saw me as nothing more than a body and that I was dispensable

They came up with a plan to hide my body in a ditch

I even heard one say, 'she deserved it, what a stupid *****'

I hit my head when they threw me on the ground

I only saw black in front of me and around

I woke up to a woman asking if I were okay

I only said one phrase and it was that 'I was betrayed'

What happened after that is irrelevant at best

All I will say is that I was nothing but stressed

This is my story and it happened two years ago today

Nailing an image in my mind that I was a targeted prey

I know now that I hold so much more worth

And I love myself more than anything on this Earth

Just know that these words have come straight from my heart

No matter how vile and disgusting this memory is, I can never restart

So I tried to make it a poem so it seems like some kind of art.

I am a ****** assault victim and I never received justice.

When you see any protest.
It's for a reason.
We can't be selected to when and how time?

Unions, full of dedicated hard workers protest for better pay.
Teachers, protest for similar things.
And the first amendment gives you that freedom to do it.

Sure, many loyal scarers won't join the protest.
Best believe many got better treatment and pay for those that do.

What group?
What folks constantly agree about anything?

None is the complete answer.
Even churches can't agree upon scriptures of their doctrine.
Many protests against ministers for various reasons.

Against hype presidential fools living in his dreamland.
But many only know the second amendment to bear arms.
But then many of them aren't very smart.

If they can't comprehend injustice protest against abusive officials with guns.

Who gave the heart the beat;
Life blood and destroyer of
Lives,
The tree with roads branching
And the destiny unfolds
In an implacable red,
Luke Autumn's kiss to the wind
And the grace of a falling leaf
Emitting the eternal harmless
And sweet,
Love and a kiss of many deaths
As every moment is a lifetime.

The world is going to hell
and we're knitting the hand basket
with the blood and bones
of our children's innocence
all the while pretending
nothing is wrong

Hate and fear is foaming
at the mouth of ignorance
and we just strap the blinders
on a little tighter
and hope if we don't pay attention
it will go away

Big brother is watching the dream die
and Uncle Sam is out burying the knife
and isn't it strange
how it went straight down
with expert precision
almost as if it was choreographed
to take a tumble
and give in without a fight

When we believe
the lie to be true
we all become liars
when we witness evil
and turn away
what are we but evil too
when we turn away those in need
to protect those of greed
what are we but monsters

How much longer will we
let the noose tighten
around our necks
before it cuts off our last breath
what will we accomplish in death
when we did nothing of grace
when our hearts
still beat inside our chests

The way things are going
I have to wonder
when the world gets to hell
will we all just be turned away
for hell is too nice a place
for monsters like us

She wanders.
Her soul and body,
Always searching,
Never ceasing.
The waves in her
Soft blue eyes
Roll and crash in
A continuous cycle
Longing for something
More. Always something
Bigger than what
She's given. For
It will never be enough.
For a friend

Juba you are ******-red!
Like noon-back of the red sea,
As if Tinka and Nuer we know,
Is complexion-ly red?
But no, they are all dark,
Under weight of melanin,
Only that your guns yell deaths,
And fluvial rivulets of blood,
Afloat are fear-ridden refugees,
From a slaughter of your nation
To which you **** not,
As if you have a spare-part,
No, guns in Juba must down be
For us to talk and talk
By not listening to the echoes
Of our clans, tribes and races,
Only for our ears to ***** high
In dear audience to the agony,
In the voices of the widows,
Orphans and the starved ones
That had their trust and love
Once endowed into you
The state of Sudan in Juba,
