In the Mind of a Victim By aldo kraas, www.PoetryPoem.com/poet11586 Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
He's a nice man
So I guess he didn't do it
Excuse me for acusing a man
For a crime that he didn't commit
And she's a poor woman
So I guess she is forgiven
A clear state of mind
Is a gift I wish I was given
I was told to talk
To share the demons that kept me awake
But I'd rather be mute
Then hear then say it is my mistake
Or hear the repetitive:
"It's the clothes you were wearing"
But off come the clothes
And my skin is the only thing I feel like Shredding
Or I'm told that I drank too much
And fell in the grasp of my aggressor
How can this cause me so much pain
When I was too drunk to remember
Sometimes we act like it never happened
No one to hurt, no one is blamed
But the one who scarred me will never
Look in the mirror and feel this shame
And doesn't matter who I am
Male, female, a child or in my prime
And it doesn't matter how it happened
Because I did not ask for this crime
But I've been told too many times
That this is something I did permit
I'm just another victim
And I guess I deserve it
