No means No

An Acrostic-(when I said no)

by kahpot

When I said no, no one listened
Hiding truths, avoiding prison
Eager she was, they all proclaimed
No protest heard, she's just ashamed

I bared that shame, in words of tears

Striving to free my future years
Again I screamed that I said no
Indecent men let instincts grow
Declared themselves upon a child

Now bars restrain their acts so vile
One word I said, outweighed denial

This poem comes from a friend's story of her younger years
and how one word gave her strength for a future life
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
