Fun NightA Poem by RenIt’s supposed to be a fun night Dancing with friends Hitting on strangers Having a little too much to drink Wearing a skimpy dress that showed off just enough of your thighs to make the guys go crazy It’s supposed to be a fun night Until your friends go off to get some drinks and leave you alone And you’re dancing with some strangers And you go to take a drink And suddenly you forget how to stand It’s supposed to be a fun night You mumble as you wake up in a room unfamiliar With a man in between that skimpy dress you once thought was a little too long And you’re too drugged to do anything but breathe and wait for it to be over And when it is, you get thrown out on the street alone and terrified It’s supposed to be a fun night You think as you walk home ignoring all the calls from your friends Searching for landmarks that guide the way But when you get there everything still feels the same And you wish you just stayed here so this feeling of rot in your chest and in between your legs would disappear It’s supposed to be a fun night You weep as you shower in that dress that now feels miles too short Not wanting to take it off because you can’t stand the thought of being bare even in your own presence But wishing you could burn it and cover yourself in as many layers as possible Maybe then you could sweat the fear and the sadness and the anger and the shame all away It was supposed to be a fun night © 2018 RenFeatured Review
