T.W: Themes of Rape

-

I don't shed tears for your humiliation.

I shed tears for the woman
Who believed
that she Couldn't do anything
A man could do
Who Couldn't believe that she would be anything
More than a wife
Or Couldn't be worth anything
more than a man
Because of men like you
Who killed her pride
Who bruised her faith
Who took her freedom
And used her as a pawn.

Tell me,

Before she bit her tongue,
So hard she could taste the crimson metallic liquid that seeped through,
Did she beg, plead, scream,
To set her wings free?
Or was she so numb
That she laid so still
And with trembling fingers
Let you take what wasn't yours?

She wasn't yours to take

And neither are any of we.
