She Walks

This poem is about a girl who was raped by a stranger and one day, as she walks down the street sees her rapist acting like an innocent man.

She walks-

In anguish,

In fear…

Her rapist

Is still out there-

Somewhere.

 

She never told a soul,

That she had looked

Directly into the eyes-

Of death… and lived.

 

Death-

It weakened

Every bit of her soul,

Yet,

It strengthened,

Every bit of her.

 

She had no name

to call him

so she stuck with

‘him.’

 

He had stolen-

Her virginity,

Her innocence,

Her sanity.

 

And he walks

And she walks-

Alone,

Only to stare

When she finds him,

Walking freely-

Down that street again.

[Coyote Poetry]

Poem told a sad and powerful story. In some situation in life. We can be push to madness. To face a rapist would be a emotion to create hate and desire to create pain. Poem is very good. Ending left me sad. A excellent poem.

wow. its so sad that men actually do that to women. just so they can be in control and dominate. and even to just get a hint of pleasure.
you caught the feeling well.
