Trying to hide

The fear inside

From days long gone

But the dreams still tag along

The worst part is what I don't know

Because I can't fully remember

 How did it all go

At the time

I was only nineteen 

Just a small town girl

Not a part of the party scene

 I was usually pretty quiet

Never one to get invited

Always wronged, never righted

But one nightAs I finished my stuff

Someone asked me if wanted to join

Surely, I thought it's just a bluff

 I hadn't ever been asked before

 I was never cool enough

So why now

Did something change 

I didn't think so

But after that night

I was never the same

So I followed that girl

Down the steps towards the lake

 I didn't know it yet

 But this was a huge mistake 

That girl is gone now

 Blending somewhere in the crowd

 I recognized a few from back in the day

 I wouldn't talk them

They have always been kind of fake

I didn't belong there 

This was worse than freshman year

 My anxiety levels were climbing so high

 I never should have agreed to come

 I really just wanted to cry 

I felt so completely out of place

 I knew I probably looked really odd

 And then it all changed 

With a smile and a nod

 I still don't know what I was thinking

 I didn't even like to be drinking

Then he said

Come on, just one

It's not going to hurt you to have a little fun

I quietly agreed

 And he slid it my way

 My next clear memory

 Was almost a week away 

I don't even know if I finished that cup 

Things were all fuzzy 

Like I couldn't completely wake up

 I don't even know where he took me from there

I only remember the color of those guys' hair 

I think that one was kind of nice 

The other one, not so much

 I remember feeling so gross and dirty 

With every unclear touch

I can't really recall a lot

 But the dark haired guy Was afraid to get caught

I wasn't sure what that meant then

 And I wish that I could forget again

 I don't know what he put in that drink

Everything was so blurry

I couldn't even think

I remember sitting in just a white shirt

 Still not knowing exactly what they did

All of me physically hurt

 I'm not exactly sure how long I was there

The light haired guy put me in a tub and washed my hair

I don't know when they moved me from there

When I woke again 

I saw a tall backed chair

I was in someones basement 

Not functioning enough to think

And right beside me

Was that guy who gave me that drink

 I stood up

I put my clothes back on

Speaking quietly 

Please take me home

He replied I'm not ready yet just sit down for awhile

The torture is still here

The replay of his smile

I don't know exactly how much time had gone by

Then I was waking again, and starting to cry 

It was making him mad

He said we could go now

The next foggy thing

I'm sitting in my house

I don't even know how

I still have nightmares

The fear still gets to me

I'm still not absolute that I'll ever be free

Because those things that I don't know

The things I cannot see

What the fuck did they really do to me

 Would knowing even help at all 

Or is it best

That I can't recall
