Gang Plunder of Women
Thoughts assail me, images pound on my brain
Those men assaulting me, their bodies on top of me
I wish to run away from myself, cut off my mind
I stare at nothing, don't feel like talking
What to say, how can I even talk about it
It was shameful, torturous, unthinkable
Going to police, the very thought is distressing
They would ask me thousand questions
To say all that and prove you are telling the truth
That's even more horrifying than rape
I wish to die but something is stopping me
Once I catch hold of those five men and kill them
I can die peacefully
They should not be alive to repeat what they did with me
My life blank, future blank, pain all over,
I wish to just sleep peacefully without thoughts
God give me sleep. Give me peace.
Please I beg you
I can no longer bear this torture.
