Notes About The Poem

http://amzn.to/3Or0f6q

Unwilling

You're broken and 
your mom don't get it and
your dad don't want to and 
your family don't see
that you lost your voice 
someone took your choice

Your brother calls you a freak
he thinks you're too weak
he thinks there's something
you could have done but
there's only fight, flee or freeze
when the situation comes.

Your friends say you can't
rape the willing
but you weren't willing
and they don't see that
consent isn't given
just because you chat

And the law don't care
because to them you're 
just a *****
probably asking for it
so they do little to nothing
and just ignore it

Your all alone now
and you wish the pain away
you just have to try and be brave
but the trauma just seems to stay
