What the Silence Holds

Walking through the crowds
Thoughts wandering away
You keep them to yourself
Not knowing what to say

You want to tell someone
But the words will not come
They just linger within you
Making you feel like scum

You've felt this way
For quit some time
Since you reported him
For his awful crime

You lied to your parents
About that awful night
Promised them you were OK
While embellished in fright

He seemed ti take everything
When he forced himself on you
Making these words cave in
As your pain seeps through

You stopped talking to most
Scared of what they'd say
all because you trusted the friend
that raped you that day
