Sajini Chandrasekera: Down dark alley

Down dark alley
Monday, January 21, 2013

Years I held back of untold truth

Dark memories of that fateful night

It took me years to be this strong

And the secret finally to reveal

Walking the night alone with fear

Passing a dark alley in a corner

Standing among the walls in the dark

A masked face of unknown

Pushing into the stony wall

His touch on my body with hunger

Hurting deep more and more

I became his pray in a dark alley

I battled hard to save my self

My screams were just lost of words of pain

The scars in mind of that night

Will hurt me every second of life

Why was I punished, is it for my innocence

Was it because I was helpless

No girl deserve such cruelty of pain

And rape is a crime which cannot be forgiven

It's only me who knows what pain it caused

It's only me who suffered this long

I'm a daughter, sister and friend to someone

And treat as I'm one of your own

No one can forgive a rapist and in the end it is the victim who suffers for life. While reading this it brought lot of mixed emotions and having no experince, you made me picture how it could have been. It is always the gift for a writer to make things feel actual for the reader, so thumbs up for you
