I noticed how his eyes set on my body..
Every now and then he would make some remarks about it
His stare made me bow my head whenever I was in his presence
He would state at me like a hungry predator
I swear it was more like a cow being ready to be devoured
He was determined; he had made a vow and was going to fulfill it
When he was finally done..all that echoed in my ears was his Wow..wow ..wow
At times I feel his touch
His grip so rough,
He made it tough for me to break free
He would choke me and make it hard for me to cough
I would struggle to breathe and it made him laugh..
He continued until he was satisfied and had enough…
For days it contuined
He would rip off my clothes
Pin me down and have his way with me
He had me anyhow he wanted
All I could do was lay there and shut my eyes
I had cried to a point where I was numb to the pain
I had tried to reach out for help but to no avail
I was just a 17 year old
I needed protection
Instead I lived in fear
Despite having people near
All I did was to shed a tear
I was a child, I knew nothing
I WAS JUST A 17 YEAR OLD!!!
