Trapped -Words of a Rape Victim-
You let me fall so easily,
For a moment in time,
I really thought you caught me.
I was flying in your arms,
But it was all a dream
None was reality.
I'm trapped in a cage
I'm a monster.
I have a pathetic smile on my face
& it's all for nothing,
There is nothing here to conquer.
You built me up
Just to break me down
I put all my trust in you..
And you threw it all out.
& for a moment there
I believed you cared
The reality is,
You were never there.
I'm trapped in this cage
I'm a wild thing.
& it's disappointing that I let you in,
But it was all for nothing
I just don't understand
It's all so sickening
I miss when you were fake
I miss when you were my Ken
It's all so disgusting
I miss the way you held me
I miss almost everything
I'm trapped in this place,
there is no escape....
I'm a beast trying to leave.
& it's so ugly how I can put it all away,
Everything you've done to me.
I can only project the good memories & the good things.
I erase the abuse
I erase the rape,
Pretend me and you were loving each other happily...
I'm trapped in a cage
And there is no way out,
I'm trapped in this place
& I wanna know who are you now?
Who is the guy I thought I loved?
