After being in the car for a while I finally asked again where we were going
She looked at me and smiled
"Well I seen you did poetry and I decided to book you at a poetry slam"
In side I was really nervous and angry but kinda happy I've always wanted to do one and now I have a chance
"Omg I've always wanted to perform at one of these but how did you on such short notice"
"Don't worry just go and do your thing lil ma
When we get there the crowd was full and I was extremely nervous today is the day I tell my story
"Up next we have a new comer everyone welcome Serina"
When I heard my name my heart beat became more rapid
"Ummm hi umm this is a spoken word by the title umm let's talk"
I turned around and closed my eyes to get rid of my nervousness
"Let's talk
Let's talk about something serious
1 in every 5 women have have experienced rape
Going through life asking there self why
Why me?
Did I do something wrong?
Truth is they didn't
She didn't
She was to young to understand
She never did anything wrong
Her confidence became low as she thought no one will ever love her if she ever spoke up about it
She kept quiet as he punished her
She stayed quiet through it all
It ended and she thought it was over so she never brought it up again
Years later it happened again
Her grades started dropping
As she went through her days in fear
And In her mind she felt she was going crazy
Why me?
She never understood
But she stayed quiet
She stayed quiet through it all
But never stay quiet
Speak up
That one little act can save a life
She stayed quiet and he victimized someone else
She blames herself day and night
Asking that same question why her
for all the women who went through it
Know you're strong
You're powerful
You're beautiful
She never spoke up
Now her head hung low
Crying with fear
Wishing for her time to go.
Asking me how I know
Well I was the little girl going through that pain
Didn't know what words to say
Cried every night
So young but with all this in my life
Now let's think this over
Me closing my eyes asking myself what did we do wrong
This is my story but I've grown up now
I'm stronger now with no regrets in my heart because it's over now"
The room filled with snapping fingers and my eyes filled of tears I felt ten pounds lighter and now I think it's time to make things right with myself
