Yet I'm Blamed for it

I didn’t bargain for this misfortune

Better plans were prepared for my future

Morals and values governed my life

Yet I’m blame for this

 

Knowing my vulnerability,

He forced me to the ground

Using all his ability,

He took my pride, leaving me bound

 

My skirt was lifted against my will

Without considering my feelings,

He entered a teenager

Now I’m ashamed of myself

 

Stretch arms are withheld from me

In need of courage, ridicule came 

As if I purposed the disgrace,

Every finger is pointed at me

 

I can’t stand mentally reliving the scene

Of someone risking my future for their pleasure

Forcibly taking what is design for my pleasure

And society refuses to wipe my tears

 

Those that my shoes perfectly fit

And are glance at as a disgrace

Are usually injured and traumatized

Some end up losing their lives

 

Instead of chasing the perpetrator

They worsen matter by rejecting me

I thought we are battling injustice,

The victims are the ones blame for it
