Once a cheerful me..!

This is an attempt to display the pain and emotion behind the cruel crime that women undergo.
#Safetyforwomen

Returning from work
I had a thought to myself…
Life is so good
With goodness around and people to help…

Suddenly I felt a pull
And I was grabbed..
For the next few hours
I was nabbed and stabbed…

I pushed and fought
And I tried a lot…
On the seat of a posh car
Away from the city crowd somewhere far…

I was hurt and hurt
And I felt like a piece of dirt…
My dress was torn
By men who thought I was the one they own…

They had a smirk on their face
While they watched me fade By…
They enjoyed the feeling
Of seeing me weak and shy…

At that moment
I was thinking to myself
Why did I come home so late?
Why is this in my fate?

They didn’t care for my thoughts
Or the blood I lost…
They only wanted some inhuman pleasure
At my cost…!

Demons they were
But I could only yell and stare
And they took turns
Oh stop ! It’s hurts and burns..!

They were deaf to my cries
They weren’t men very wise…
I kept pleading in pain
They thought of it as their gain…

I was later thrown in a pit
Like a piece of shit…
Feeling crippled and numb
I lay there still
Until spotted by some…

Taken to the medical room
I could hear whispers around me..
My parents and friends
Came rushing to see….

I saw my mother cry
I felt my father standing afar in shock…
Is she your daughter, let’s get a few details in said the nurse
Documenting a day of fear and course…

Days went by and seasons turned
Doctors said i am fine and I was brought home…
But something in me was still shaken
The girl in me was now broken…

No matter what I did
No matter where I hid..
Demons still dwell everywhere,
In my mother’s care, in people’s stare…

I stood up and walked
And decided to talk..
Through my story
I wanted others to be aware…
So they don’t fall prey to a demons stare…!!
So they don’t fall prey to a demons stare..!!
