I scream
At
The top of my lungs
No sound
Comes out...
Silent
Curdling screams
Is all
I have, left now!
I wrestle
I fight
With
All my physical might
While
Being forced down
By
The mighty strength
Of
Many men
The pungent smells
Of dirt
Sweat
And grime
Embed
In my senses
Their ghastly, hot breathes
Making me
Want to puke!
Their hands
All over me,
Violating me
Constantly grabbing
And
Groping me
While hollering
And cheering
Each other, on!
Someone,
Punches me
Someone,
I cannot see
A large, man’s hand
Covers my mouth
And nose
Muffling,
My soulful cries
Terrorizing my insides
"I can’t breathe now!"
Many
Heavy handed
Blows follow
I watch
My scarlet red blood
‘Splatter’
Upon
The snow white sheets
That
Surround me
My sacred blood spilled
My salty tears
Mixed
With the stench
Of men’s, body fluids
My body
A raging torrent
Of
Pure hot fire!
A living hell
As
The men continue
Their wild frenzy
Devouring
Every morsel
Left,
Of
My dignity!
My body
Weak...and weary
It is fighting
For
It’s God given right
To live!
My life
Flashing before my eyes
The sounds around me
Beginning to fade...
My eyes
Glazing over
My body
Goes limp
My body, betraying me!
In this moment
I pray
For this is not my will
But
Their own!
“Please heavenly Father,
Have mercy
Upon their souls”
“Please
Forgive these men
As I do, now,
For
They
Will
Never, take me away
from you!"
Blackened tears of mascara
Weave
Their way down,
Through the ****** crevasses
Of
My black & blued skin
My body used up
A lifeless vessel
Totally, numb!
My innocence
My dignity
As a Woman
Stripped away
No one
Can save me, now
The worst is done!
I am bashed!
I am beaten!
I am worn!
I am nothing
No more!
