Too Afraid to Open Up, Maybe Someday I’ll be Enough

Heart broken
Too many times
So many stupid guys
Tears shed
For loss of another
Rigid past
Gone smooth
You don’t listen
To a woman
When she’s told you
“I’ve been abused”
No they want sex
Just like before
One after the other
Walks out the door
Legs and feet ache
For a cure
Questions asked
Feelings felt
All she can see
Is the blackness of his belt
Blood splattered
Seventeen
Years old
She was just
A child
Rejection takes it’s tole
One tally after another
The warrior
Feels helpless
Unappreciated
Disrespected
For she is always
Unarmed
With nothing
But her heart
