On these deserted roads at night,
The silence prevails.
But the memories of my plight,
They still remain.
That night, I held on to hope,
That I could be saved.
But all my dreams went up in smoke,
When no one came.
Daddy's little girl I was.
Brought up and raised with care,
And with love.
I was fragile, so they took care of me
As if I were a china doll.
But I couldn't see,
That the world wasn't kind enough.
But reality struck hard,
It dawned upon me.
I was engulfed by monsters in the dark,
On this dark street.
I was treated like trash,
The pain I endured was unmatched.
It happened without consent,
I was left in torment.
I wept tears of blood,
And in vain begged for mercy.
But after they were done,
They left me to deal with insanity.
I lay on this very street,
And could barely breathe.
Through eyes which tears had blurred,
I saw the number plate and cursed.
I woke up on a hospital bed,
Surrounded by loved ones.
With teary eyes, they told me to forget,
But how could I? Until those dogs were laid to rest.
The question wasn't why?
But the answer was, "I want them dead."

I don't usually explain the contents of the poems I write. I like to keep it to the reader's imagination, and it helps them to connect with the words. But this one is close to my heart and was written to challenge one of the worst sins of mankind- Rape. I don't think that my country is safe for women anymore and it's a shame. I hope that you read this and share it becuse I want everyone to feel what it's like to be the victim, be it a man or woman.
