normal

My friends said it would be fun

To have a night out

The party had begun 

And all the booze has sold out

 

We arrived at the place

And I didn’t recognize much

And my mind started to race

But my friend reassured me with a soft touch

 

So I decided to go in

And immediately everyone greeted me

I still felt nervousness within

And all I wanted to do was flee

 

Instead, I decided to start drinking

Because then I knew the vibes would go away

And my mind stopped rethinking

And I finally started to move from the doorway

 

The night started to get blurry

And the boys started to notice me

Because my words started getting slurry

And my consciousness started floating free

 

The next thing I knew

I woke up to this guy

A guy who was eyeing me from across the room

At the beginning of the night, when I was shy

 

I didn’t know what to do

And I was really scared

But there was one thing that I knew

Is that he took advantage of me when I was impaired

 

I tried to tell him to stop

But the weight was suffocating

I tried to push him off 

But he still kept penetrating

 

Finally when he was done

He laid down next to me

And told me not to tell anyone

And I sat there in silence, scared of what would happen if I disagreed

 

The days past by

And I kept feeling worse

All I did was cry

Afraid that the memory would immerse

 

I talked about what happened to my close friends

They blew off the story I  told

Said that was made up in my head

And that he would never do something so bold

 

So here I am

Feeling alone and confused

But I shouldn’t give a damn

Because in this world, I guess it’s normal to be abused
