The Rapistshe Fought Back

(5/9/12) I was coming home late from a date, and did not look To see if anyone was around or was following me. When out of the darkness he jumped out And put his hand on my mouth. Then put a knife to my throat and told me “don’t be stupid if you want to live To me your body you will give.” She was always told : “don’t put your life in harms way And if you can - run away”. And if someone grabs you from behind You must stomp on his foot as hard as you can He will loosen up his hand. ( which she did) She swung her arm back as hard as she could The pain in his crotch - he understood. He dropped the knife and released his hold She ran so fast - before her legs got cold. Now there is a reason for this poem I must tell. DON’T BE A VICTIM- RUN LIKE HELL. I always told my daughter : to always look around And to listen for any unfamiliar sound Preventive medicine can always help you through If you know just what to do. p.s. this is just a story -but can happen.
