She was barely sixteen,
out late partying,
and intoxicated
when he came
and violated
her sacred
center.
At first, she resisted
but with his fists
he insisted.
So, stunned numb
she submitted,
laying still as a stone
that sunk
to the bottom
of a lake,
as she was forced
to endure
that horrible ****.
Disgusted and ashamed,
she almost took a shower,
but unfortunately knew
if she wanted to
press charges
she’d have to keep
his ******* fluids.
So, she let them
swab and start collecting
all the samples
they would need
to prosecute.
But at her
court appointed
appearance
it soon became
apparent
that only her parents
cared about justice,
cause the judge was
quite transparent.
Even though,
he made a production
of compassion for
her suffering,
he still let
that rich man's son
off with only a
slap on the wrist,
cause the lawyer told him
he’s just a boy and
he can’t do time in
the prison system,
cause it would ruin him
and it’s not his fault because of
affluenza.
What good would it do
but ruin the lives of two,
after all they had
both been through?
Several weeks
and more than three
pregnancy tests later,
she still felt
the violation
as a remnant of him
began gestating
like and alien
inside of her.
But her church wouldn’t
let her abort the fetus
so, despite the trauma
she had to adapt
to the fact
that she was trapped.
Four weeks later
she went from
at least this life
will need her,
to cold chills,
cramps, and a fever;
From ten to
twenty-two
pounds gained
then to back down
and even lighter
then when
her pregnancy
began.
She went from
finally accepting
and preparing
to start sharing
her life
with a newborn,
to a ****** expulsion,
nausea, repulsion,
and hiding
said heartbreaking
pain in shame.
