I wanted a lollipop
But you wanted more
Soon as I walked into the room
You pinned me on the floor
Please stop
Let me go
Please stop
Let me go
Just let me go
I was late from work
The street lights were off
Then you grabbed me from the back
You ripped off my clothe
Please stop
Let me go
Oh God
Make it stop
Just make it stop
Ohhh
Won't you please
Make it stop
Just got into bed
I kissed you goodnight
Said baby I told you I didn't want anything
Just for tonight
I'm begging stop
Let me go
I'm crying stop
Let me go
This space can hear me say NO
But do you even understand what that means anymore
Too blind to see my pain
Hardened heart driven by your desires
You covered my mouth and
Crippled me with your silent whispers
To you it was just a few seconds
But in those few seconds you auctioned me to a broken system
That finds it easier to crucify me than hold you accountable
Insisting that I asked for it
Blaming my short skirt or late nights
But if only they understood
That misplacing the blame only empowers you
You auctioned me to a system
That hides behind religion
Defending your name and honour
Yet the Holy book is centered on justice for the oppressed.
I know
Healing is inevitable because the author and perfector of my faith
Will restore me to health and he will heal the wounds.
But regardless, NO ONE deserves to be raped
This is me waging war
I will not be silenced
Because I am no longer your victim
I am a survivor
I will rise again
In spite of all the pain
I will rise again
In spite of all the pain
I will rise again
In spite of all the pain
I will rise again
In spite of all the pain
I will rise again
In spite of all the pain
I will rise again
In spite of all the pain
I will rise again
In spite of all the pain
I will rise again
In spite of all the pain
