Statistics. That is me now. I scream and I cry Into the depths of my pillow.
I had not been wearing something that showed me. I screamed and thrashed. I am now a Statistic.*
Help me. Rid me of the memories That play across my eyelids Whenever my eyes close.
I regret every second Of that tortured night. And just when I thought it stopped and the pain was gone The real pain Hadn't even started.
