When My Life Ended

I woke up in the morning.
Rubbing my head and looking around.
I tried to place my feet on the ground.

As I stood my head began to throb.
I quickly ran for bathroom
Which is where it all began

It was there in the mirror
As I stood there I’ll never forget
The face of the girl looking back.

The girl in the mirror was not me
But someone who looked like me
With bruises and a cut on my head.

I paused to think of the night I had
It was then again my head started to hurt
Then I realized there was more pain.

As I stood there I realized my body
Was crying out in pain also.
Little did I know what happened.

I went back to my bed to find my cell
Hoping in some way it would guide me
Through the night I had.

I reached my bed and it was then
When I realized what truly had
Happened to me last night.

It only took one bad night
And a horrible morning after
And one little stain.

I started to cry when I realized
Where the pain
Was coming from.

Tears rolled down my face
As the pieces pulled together
To form one single explanation

I was raped.
