Poetry: Remembering rape

by Michelle Loewer

Created on: May 23, 2007

Taken Away:



How did this happen
why did it happen to me
I should have seen it coming
I was young and naive.
He lured me to his house
because he knew that I would come
I put myself in this position
and now I feel so dumb.
He tried to make a move on me
over and over again
and I tried to keep telling him
that he was just my friend.
All that did was make him mad
so I got up to leave
and that's when I realized
that he had taken my keys.
He pushed me to the wall
and through the bedroom door
he slapped me across the face
and then pushed me to the floor.
I couldn't believe this was happening
and all I could do was cry
I knew couldn't fight him off
I had already tried.
And just when I thought
things couldn't get worse
I realized this guy
would always be my first.
He knew I would be ashamed
and he figured I wouldn't tell
but he should have guessed again
because now his butt's in jail.
