This isn't a pretty tale

This isn't a pretty tale

A Poem by Rose

To turn the blind eye when it comes to women's rage and pain,
or to choose the darker path of revenge 
Watch the noose wrap around the perpetrators neck 
To rape and pervert a woman's body, a human soul without consequences
Is a universal wound against the feminine herself 
To expect healing, moving on and forgetting the pain is a fairytale
To move on without rage and pain ignores the bloody wound 
Hearing survivors stories yet ruling in the favor of the perpetrator
Is a slap in the face of all women 
Don't speak up, don't draw attention
Is the story taught to us
Whilst our own story is burnt in our minds 
We do not move on from pain and ugly memories 
Without creating more ugliness, earthly rage with our tongues sticking out in defiance
