SILENCE IS THE ONLY ANSWER SHE GETS

images

“Why me?”

She asks her mother

Hoping, wanting, craving

A loving reply.

Mother looks at her,

Eyes filled with shame

And says,

“It must have been your fault.”


“Why me?”

She asks her father,

Thinking that he, at least,

Would understand her pain.

He turns away,

Can’t bear to look at her

As he says,

“It must have been your fault.”


“Why me?”

She asks her friends,

The ones who had promised

To be there for her, always.

They avert their eyes,

They won’t speak to her,

Not even to say

“It must have been your fault.”


Victim to a heinous crime,

Stripped of her clothes, her dignity,

She walks alone in a crowded world

Where they all say,

“It must have been your fault.”

“Why me?”

She asks herself.

Silence….is the only answer she gets.
