Unforgiven

Pinned face down against the floor,
my pleas answered with senseless violence.
I tried to rise and reach for the door,
only to be dragged down by mortal demons.

They ripped my clothes apart and laid me bare,
shredding my dignity into a thousand pieces.
toying with me, making me gasp for air
while my courage vanished as I shed futile tears

I realized then that I had been a fool,
no true friends would want to cause me harm.
All those times, they "protected" me at school,
when in truth, they were deceiving me.

I screamed with every thrust they made,
impaling my innocence, peeling away my sanity.
Their mocking laughter echoed in my head,
the imprints marked me in my memory.

When I'd lost my voice and they left me,
my soul continued to scream with boiling rage.
My life thrown into disharmony
as hatred and pain locked my heart in a cage.

Over the years, I have crawled back to sanity,
picking up the pieces of the core of my being
but I'll never forget the nights shaded in cruelty
nor can I forgive all the hurt.
