Overwhelming Emotions

party

she was at a house party

not sure if she knew anybody

her mind was filled with the dreadfully loud boom of the music

breathing behind her "take her to the other room." 

she awoke with a load buzz ringing all through her

took a moment of scrutiny, the clothes disarray, makeup in aberration,

immediately unsettled she knew what they had taken

and it wasn't anything she was holding

for it was something far more precious 

egregious abuse, but she was grateful she still had her life
