My R**e Poem by Jessica Henning

the pills that i take
and the smiles i fake
cannot heal all the pain
or stop me from screaming in vain
what happened that night
what he did, was not right
i cant stop the fears
but i can stop the tears
its hard to move ahead
when i can only wish myself dead
no one to talk to no one who cares
they notice im gone, everyone stares
ive gone to therapy and im taking their pills
but the memories haunt and the feeling that kills
my life is great except this tiny detail
its making me sick my face is now pale
i try not to say it, it just isnt real
but how do you explain these things that i feel
its now time to say it... its... well its rape
there was nothing i could do... there is still no escape!
