A RACE OF DOOM

It started out innocently

Or so I thought

A small touch on the side of my breast

A graze at the back of my thigh

I tried to excuse it in my head

Because this isn’t something that happens to real people

But you got bolder

Your hand was creeping under my skirt

I tried to move away but you gripped me hard

Making it clear there was no escape for me

At the back of my mind I was hoping this was all a bad dream

But it couldn’t be, because the dread I felt was too real

The twisting in my stomach too much

I told you to stop but you wouldn’t

You knew you had me in a tight spot

I couldn’t scream because no one would hear

And at the back of my mind I was scared that if people heard me, I would become the girl that was abused

Your hand was on my breast now

I was crying, pleading but you wouldn’t listen

I tried pushing you but you were too strong

Your hand was now in the sacred area between my legs

I couldn’t take it anymore so I used all the strength I had to push until you let go

Then I ran and ran and ran

Right now I'm still running

Running to the bottle of whiskey

Running towards sex

Trying to take back the control I lost

Running towards the pills

Trying to forget

Running from my mind because I can't handle the craziness

I don't think I can stop running this race that is ruining my life.
