Nirbhaya

Rape is the word they drape me in, gape At me like an ape, they name me, shame me Game am I for all, I built a wall around me Pall and gloom surround me, will I ever bloom? If a savage does ravage my body, damage In lustful rage, scrambles my mind, in shackles bind Wind me up, should my life be an endless strife? Wife to be never, cast in the dark forever? I vow, the world can go to hell, bow won't I No more hiding or biding my time Tidings good and wholesome will become me Come greet me, winner am I, sinner no more!   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
