I hope you enjoy this poem! I didn't write this from a gender specific POV because I wanted to show that men can be victims of rape as well.
Everything Is Fine
I was in a hurry
I knew I couldn't be late
I must have overslept
The clock read half past eight
I ran to the bus stop
The one near the park
A guy stood next to me
It was getting dark
"Hey!" he said
"I know you
We have a class together
English 102!"
We stood and chatted
While I waited for the bus
He was very charming
But we didn't have much to discuss
I shivered a little
"I could give you a ride"
He pointed to his car
"Its warm inside!"
I was kind of nervous
I didn't know him that well
What did I have to lose?
Oh, what the hell!
I got in the front
He looked at me with a smile
He took off
And drove about a mile
We were getting close
"Turn here" I said
But he looked at me
And shook his head
He parked under the bridge
And my heart began to sink
I sat there frozen
I couldn't even think
He ripped open the door
"Get out!" He yelled
My body couldn't move
My body rebelled
He pulled me out of the car
I saw the want on his face
How could this happen?
Why am I in this place?
He grabbed me by the hair
And threw me to the ground
I looked everywhere
But no one was around
He rolled me on my back
"Don't even try to struggle!"
I began to cry
I was laying in a puddle
In an instant
He was on top of me
He was so strong
I couldn't get free
When he was finished
He looked at me with disgust
Buttoned his shirt
Spit at me and cussed
"Look at me!
You should be flattered!"
Didn't he know
My world had just been shattered?
He walked away
Like nothing even happened
But it did
The worst I could have imagined
I looked at my watch
It was almost nine
I have to move on
Everything is fine
