She shouldn't be raped.


As the title says, she shouldn't be raped. You saw her as very ambitious and determined, She is very quiet and moves patiently toward her dream. You sit there in her face and started to run your filthy hands across her chest, touching her breast, She tells you to stop... Seeing you as a brother, uncle and even as a father, She shouldn't be raped. But you still cling unto her, You bruised and scratched her with your elbows, knees teeth and fingernails as you finally managed to rape her. And yes! You raped her... You treated her like she's ought to be treated and then you left her with so much pain and with the noises of dread, shame, and regrets. She's now a victim of rape, Just because you raped her.
