Silent Cry
You can try to scrub yourself clean,
Imagining it's just a dream.
A clear bottle of soap rests on the tub,
And this nitty grime won’t fade.
This is me. This is me.
He left his mark, even if it can’t be seen.
I tried to scream and fling,
But all I did was freeze.
He wouldn’t leave without a sting.
First he kissed me, then he wanted more.
My tears freezing on my skin.
I feel like a whore.
This is a fight I cannot win.
He rips off my clothes,
I’m now yelling no.
Time slows.
Im naked from head to toe.
He’s pushing between my thighs,
And now he’s inside.
I just want to die.
This is my battle cry.
No one will know, no one must know.
