TW — mentions of assault and suicide

Should I ever be the last girl on earth,
please strip me nude, as I was at my birth
Slice up my skin. Make it mottled and blue
Leave me to rot till the worms burrow through

Cremate my body, set it alight
Let death rescue me from this hopeless plight
A mountain of ash will have no appeal
to those who just see girls as a meal

When the flames of my pyre scorch the air,
just know that the pain will never compare
to the agony of man's savagery
This fire shall be ablutionary

Leave me to the beasts that live in the woods
They won't care if I'm stained or "damaged goods"
They'll take all they can, won't leave aught to rot
At least by them, I won't be forgot

When their putrid teeth tear my flesh apart,
I'll know that I feed an honest heart
For, unlike us, the excuse bears out
when they claim "they can't stop" despite my shouts

Toss me, shackled, into the raging sea
Down under the waves, at last, I'll be free
I will make my bed on the ocean floor
Death will be kinder than what lies in store

My chains must be sturdy - no ifs, no doubts
If I float to the top, they'll fish me out
Drowned I may be but that won't matter
to those who just see girls as a platter

Should you leave me to the mercy of men,
just know I shan't be myself again
They'd break my body, my heart, my resolve;
commit heinous sins that can't be absolved

And, before I break, I'll pray that I die
My throat shall be hoarse, my eyes ran dry
My sacred body, left bloodied and bruised,
will no longer be mine once I get used

To them, I'd just be a thing to destroy
An ashtray. A punch bag. A doll. A toy.
My pain - it would only serve to amuse
They'd laugh if I cried from all their abuse

So if the day comes when men reign supreme,
when women are gone, like some age-old dream
If I still remain, the last of my kind,
please save me from the vice of mankind

Inspired by the Reddit prompt: what would you do if you were the last girl on earth? yah it's a big NO from me.
