After That Savanna

I began to lose my mind
my friends I could not find

I was then taken by a man
who bought me another can

and promised me heaven
it was late after eleven

I was so drunk I could not see
he took me to his house free

I really got hammered
I got hammered very hard

In the morning I woke up 
with scars like a make-up

a sign that I was raped
whole body was newly shaped

only to realize it was an unprotected
surely I am infected

I hate myself and I regret
and this I can never forget.
