This has to stop!
Rather sooner than later
I do know this is a poem
I just came to
Say #NoToRape

Do you know what's at stake?
Forcefully having your way
Blaming her dressing
Her outing at a so-called 'ungodly' hour
Your excuses give me more reasons to
Say #NoToRape

No strength to fight back
Struggles upon struggles
with loud screams and massive tears
Fear and hurt is all (s)he sees
The pain, way beyond the physical
Oh, the shame and stigma
Let's Say #NoToRape

Far beyond the bleeding
Some go to the Hospital
'lucky' if the tests come negative
For baby, STIs and STDs alike
Just the physical, something to cry about
We can Say #NoToRape
