Terrifying Thoughts

At night all alone Frozen as a stone You try to rest your head But you’re filled with dread Afraid of the monsters who might get you tonight I see you frozen with fear, I hear you screaming with fright You play the scene in your head And then you wish you were dead That memory’s in your mind There is no peace you could find You see their faces; you see those rapists have no remorse They finished scarred you and then they go and blame you of course They say you craved it but you did nothing of sort And now you’re pregnant; something that you wish to abort You see their faces every time you close up your eyes You start to ponder “Why did you meet up with those guys?” You hear their voices playing like it’s stuck on replay You try to shut it, but the voices just wouldn’t go away You stay awake all night for fear they might come right back Covered in bruises, all you see is purple and black These terrifying thoughts are playing constantly in your head You couldn’t take it; you were too petrified by this dread You breathe slowly, regretting every single last breath You put the gun to your head and found some peace in your death date: May 29 2013
