Raped
Everything, stolen from her
Every last defense, vanished inside of her
She screams and moans into the rag
But nothing she shrieks can escape the gag
He pinned her down to the wall
He held her there, and took it all
She knew her innocence would never last
But she never thought she would lose it so fast
Her sweat-streaked body slid backwards and forwards
He pushed her and slammed her against the boards
The end drew near, and she writhed in pain
Her tainted body dropped to the ground in shame
Tears twist and wrench themselves from her eyes
Back home and tired, she wishes she had died
She was beaten and used, left alone, raped
She feels unlucky, though she escaped
Now suicide never removes itself from her brain
The feeling of inadequacy drives her insane
Nobody knows, and nobody cares
It always seems like no one is there
She wants relief, but it never comes
She’s stuck down inside her private slums
She was abused and attacked by someone she held dear
She was mistreated and raped, now she’s no longer here
