The pretty girl walked through the park with her boyfriend.
Disclaimer
I am not pretty
Disclaimer
I didn't walk, I ran
Disclaimer
It wasn't a park, it was a dark alley
Disclaimer
He wasn't my boyfriend.
She smiled and he kissed her on the cheek and pulled her into a hug.
Disclaimer
I didn't smile
Disclaimer
It wasn't on the cheek
Disclaimer
He didn't pull, he grabbed
Disclaimer
It wasn't a hug, it was a chokehold.
He told her she was beautiful, and she walked home and fell softly asleep.
Disclaimer
He called me a whore
Disclaimer
I didn't walk, I crawled
Disclaimer
It wasn't home, it was to the hospital
Disclaimer
I didn't sleep for weeks.
The judge looks at me slowly. His mouth opens to speak.
"The accusation is rape"
But he says
Disclaimer
She knew her attacker.
