Rape. Poem by Kelli Richards

There is a 15 year old girl,
Who sits alone in silence.
The horrid night that wrecked her world,
Lies withtin the scars on her body.

She doesnt know how to cope,
She doesn't know what to do.
She's given up all hope,
She just wants to dissapear.

Her life's become a mess,
Nothing stayed the same.
And now she is in distress,
But nobody can see.

His face haunts her dreams,
The words repeat in her head.
Her life is fading to her it seems,
But she doesn't really care.

She doesn't want to die,
But she doesn't want to stay
She sits back and wonders why?
He could come again any day.

She cries at night,
And he laughs at her pain.
She is full of fright,
What will hapeen next?

He threatens her everyday,
She wants to speak up.
But she doesn't know what to say.
She doesn't want to hurt again.

Her feelings trapped inside,
She feels shes going to burst.
With no one to confide.
Her feelings stay hidden.

How do you deal with rape,
The only way is to be numb.
Not feel any pain, be emotionless,
Sit back and play dumb.
