The Fear I Feel
The fear i feel is unfair
I was sexually violated
No one cared enough to keep me safe
The bare minimum was done
The fear i feel is unfair
My words were ignored
My safety, disregarded
I was nothing
The fear i feel is unfair
'Other women have been through worse’
My unsafe experiences were dismissed
I wasn't treated with respect
The fear i feel is unfair
No one listened, no one dared
Keep the status quo, ignore the violation
Don't open your mouth, because it doesn't matter
When no one cares enough to listen anyway
The fear i feel is unfair
I was meant to be kept safe
I was only working
I am only a woman
The fear i feel is unfair
But also unheard
Willfully blind to my pain
To keep themselves comfortable & safe
The fear I feel is unfair.
Everyone's moved on but I'm still here…
Its like it happened yesterday
I'm stuck in place trying to find a way
The fear I feel is unfair
No one kept me safe
Now i must pay the price of pain
That i never asked for
The fear i feel is unfair
God only gives you struggles he knows you can handle
But 23 is too young for all this pain
The fear i feel is unfair
One day this fear will be bravery
Until then
This fear I feel is unfair
