MUTE

Everywhere was silent like still waters,

Dad went to the Peters,

Lil Bro went for a date,

I can't seem to remember the Date.

The Villian enters in action,

Like he owns the Mansion,

Looking like a thief in the Night,

His eyes locked on my exposed Breast,

Where is your Dad, he asks,

Hope He is around,

I have to discuss a new Project I found,

With him,

Hearing my response,

Which is, I am all alone,

He grinned wickedly,

I don't know his wicked thoughts,

He came close grabbed me,

Tore my Clothes,

I was overpowered,

Trying my best not to be Raped,

He had his Ways,

Took away my Dignity as a Princess,

Turned me into a Rag,

I was useless at the Moment,

Tears burst out from its place,

I wanted to Scream out,

I couldn't voice Out,

The shame is all I could think Of.......
