Disgrace Replaced

Disgrace Replaced

A Poem by Nadia Zahran

Social roles are twisted 

Intertwined
Uncomfortable in my own skin 

Due to YOU

Scraping Every
Morsel
Of my dignity


Every time you grazed my skin
Every time you felt you should be within
I can't even begin to articulate how degrading that was


To feel my shaking fingers forcibly intertwined with yours 

To feel as if
I'm fucked up with your sin
I was always

Giving up, giving in 

Because nothing
Had meaning anymore


Raping me dry
Raw
Forcibly torn
Forcibly caught in the scheme of your feeble 

Audacious mind

I'm immune to your kind, Mother F****r!


I know the game all too well
Too many times you've ripped my body and face 

You snatched my innocence and grace
I know there's no escaping
No return to normalcy
Or consistent bliss
B***h, you've made me too used to this


Controlled by what I had no control over 

By that point
I no longer had mental stability
Lines had been crossed

Self-respect: tossed


I have no urge to rewind back to my feeble state of mind 

However, lack of composure has me deemed helpless 

To this inconsistent trash
To this

Self-absorbed
Self-loathing
Fear of substance
Lack of self-respect
Yet all of it to you is a funny f*****g game


There will be no more mental rape 

I will take back my face
I'm finally taking an overdue stand 

Enlisting my hands

Around your throat
I smile as you twitch 

Making you--- my b***h


Taking your lies away
Making you frail
Cutting it off
Your ego in my hand
I'm taking my stand, Mother F****r 

Here's your reality, B***h

Open up and start swallowing 

Because I am done following!

Real words and thoughts shared. You made the reader understand the words. You are right. People can see the world with the wrong vision. Hard to understand. Women are are daughters, wives, grandmothers and grandchildren. A worthwhile and powerful poem. I liked this one.
