Happy Women's day?
#WritcoPoemChallenge
#WomensDay

They say scars never fade
And hers never did
The pains of yesterday
Run so vividly in her mind

They forgot
But she never can
The hands down her skirt
That like rivers ran

They so easily moved on
And walked with time's sands
But in that moment she remains
Being touched by unwanted hands

Epochs and centuries will pass
And memories of her will fade
But never will anyone blot
The hatred that within her they laid

An apology is not enough
And sorry is a dying word
Nobody can try to act
As if her screams they never heard

The slow demented motion
Of their bodies, ignorant of her shrills
Will always run amuck
And prevent her having thrills

Their cold, lifeless countenances
Will run riot in her mind
And cause her so much anguish
Such that happiness she'll never find

To you its all behind
To her its right there
And it arrives every night
Like an unending nightmare

Happy women's day to the broken
To those who cannot escape
The hard prison gates
Of being victim to rape.
