My Voice

My Voice

My sharp piercing voice of a raven
will slam your face against a wall,
to awaken you from your drunken stupor.

Like an ocean,
my voice will reach many continents,
to the destiny of many ears.

My message is as razor sharp as a cleaver.
I long to tell the world of a vile man who raped me of my virginity,
an evil man that took something that wasn't his,
my peace of mind,
my sanity.

I want to see him locked up forever,
for what he did to me.

I long to see his manhood
taken violently from him,
like he took my voice from me.

I want the world to hear my pain
and agony from that day long ago.
