"Raped"
~Sara Montey~

You shred apart my body
And left me whimpering.
You threatened my life
And held up your gun.

All I could hear
Was the beating of my heart
As it pressed against my temple
And moved to my chest.

The glimmering silver
Caught my eye
As you held it up
To my forehead.

I thought I was dead.
But my heartbeat a reminder
That he had not pulled the trigger
And he had not yet won.

I do as I am told
Never losing sight of the gun.
I unzipped my pants
Just as he said.

I wished I had stayed home
And not disobeyed my mom.
I wished I were a better daughter
And never got into my car.

He screamed at me and yelled
For me to pull them down.
The gun still set upon my head
As the gruesome act was performed.

I started crying in pain
As he invaded my body.
"When will he stop?" I thought
The minutes seemed like days.

I didn't know what was to happen
After he seemed to be through.
My heart began beating faster
As he pressed the gun harder to my head.

"This is it," I thought in fear.
"My life is soon to end."
He is going to shoot me
In the chest or in the head.

I thought for sure I was going to die
As he screamed at me some more.
But he told me not to say a word
And then he shoved me out the door.

I lie on the roadside bawling
My confused head began to spin.
The reality of what had happened
Had not quite sunken in.

Living life from day to day
Is harder ever more.
But I choose to keep on living
For he may have won a battle, but will not win the war.
