"I was raped!"

What were you wearing?
Were you wearing that pencil skirt with the slit at the side?
Or, was it the yellow blouse that makes your eyes look like sunshine?
I bet you were wearing one of those.
I told you they made you look sexy.

"I was raped!"



Was it that boy in your class you shared lunch with the other day?
Were you smiling and flirting with him again?
Or, did you give him a slice of your famous banana cake?
I bet you were smiling with him all day.
I bet you made him more goodies.

"I was raped!"

What time was it?
Were you walking home alone after work?
Or were you at the bus stop talking to strangers again?
I bet you left work and decided to walk home.
I bet you thought it was still early.

"I was raped!"

Where were you raped?
Why did you invite him to your place?
Or, did you think that dinner was just an 'innocent meal'?
I bet you figured you could 'eat him out'.
I bet you didn't even offer to pay half.

"I was raped!"

How were you raped?
How did you ask him to stop?
Or, did you even ask him to stop?
I bet you didn't even scream.
I bet you only said no once.

"I was raped?"
