you feel there is a need to avoid us,
to treat us like a plague,
that god is punishing us for some misdeed,
its god's will that we were raped,
please dont' misbelieve us,
it could happen to you.

survivors dont make up tales for attention,
dont' tell me not to talk about it,
dont' ever say on a date its common,
or say others are worse off than you,
dont' blame us
it could happen to you

stop telling us its no big deal,
that we are weak because it impacts our life,
if we did this on purpose
or its' not rape cause we knew the attacker
dont' pretend rape does not happen to people you know,
it could happen to you,

dont' tell us rape is a compliment,
that our flashback are phony,
sorry we cant recieve your hug,
sometimes we pull away,
please be aware,
tell us you care.......
