Their eyes eat through my skin Their hands tear down my clothes I feel like a useless tin Only useful to the greedy eyes Of a rapist who lies And strangles my neck He cheats and abstracts justice He hides and waylays when its dark My feelings have become The feelings of a prisoner Like a bird in a cage whose wings Are useless to flee whose wings could have flown to freedom I feel like a half eaten bone Thrown to the wild dogs My tears run like an overflowing river In vain because it’s too late To save my dignity in the hands of those Who tear my clothes apart.
