Don’t look at me!

Don’t look at me,

You monster

Hunting me

    Haunting me

        Watching me

I make myself ugly

You continue pursuit

  I turn away slowly,

    change every route

But always you find me

   In the deep dark places

I scan desperately

   For comprehending faces

I tell them about you

   The things you do

No one believes me

    So you continue

I stand up against you

    Fight on my own

You’re stronger than I am

    desperately alone

And so

    I give in

I have no fight left

    do what you want

You’ve committed your theft

Coming to steal

   Strip my soul bare

Rob me of innocence

   Leave me no air

I hate myself

   Alone in the stall

      Punching my gut

I’m such a slut

Maybe tomorrow

I’ll make my escape

Maybe tomorrow

There will be no rape.
