I call you forward to witness thee, The nightmare, crimson reality, Red soaked sheets, A story of once an innocence, now is gone, Torn away from my flesh, I ask you this, where is my choice in all of this, I have had snatched what is mine, robbed, I seek justice but there is no answer. My cries, cries fall on silent ears, Through the years, my cries are also now silen-ced, I have become a story to myself, When I now tell of my tragedy, I don't cry Nor do I give that bitter, characteristic laugh, I look hollow and stare hollow and feel hollow. … People think that I’m shallow. I am fine with that, When has it ever been my choice? I cry and scream and no- one helps, and passers-by snigger as they go. ...’’She got what she deserved, she had asked for it, what, dressed like that!’’ ‘’She should thank her stars, that someone wants her anyway!’’ After all, **** is a kind of... love.’ That’s part of the irony… I don't feel that loved.       - Felinely, Aisha.

Crimson Reality.
I call you forward to witness thee, The nightmare, crimson reality, Red soaked sheets, A story of once an innocence, now is gone, Torn away from my flesh, I ask you this, where is my choice in all of this, I have had snatched what is mine, robbed, I seek justice but there is no answer. My cries, cries fall on silent ears, Through the years, my cries are also now silen-ced, I have become a story to myself, When I now tell of my tragedy, I don't cry Nor do I give that bitter, characteristic laugh, I look hollow and stare hollow and feel hollow. … People think that I’m shallow. I am fine with that, When has it ever been my choice? I cry and scream and no- one helps, and passers-by snigger as they go. ...’’She got what she deserved, she had asked for it, what, dressed like that!’’ ‘’She should thank her stars, that someone wants her anyway!’’ After all, **** is a kind of... love.’ That’s part of the irony… I don't feel that loved.       - Felinely, Aisha.
