DATE RAPED

I trusted him when I went to his house
We were friends from school
I went in his room a moment too soon
I must have been a fool

The next thing you know
I was pinned to the bed
I could not escape

I had not a whim
That visiting him
Would end with me being raped

My mind was reeling
Tried to tune out the fact
That he had taken my power

I ran to my house
And cried it all out
Then tried to scrub him off in the shower

His scent washed off
But the terror remained
Of what I had just gone through

I wished I had kicked him
And not been a victim
Of someone that I thought that I knew

Now years have gone by
And I’ve stopped asking why
Though the thought still makes my eyes water

I just kneel every day
And to Dear God…I pray
Please protect my daughters
