Justice

She stares,
trying to comprehend
what he has just said.
She cannot believe
he would propose
this defiant filth.
She rejects him.
That does not matter
for he will continue to satisfy
his urges, inflicting on
her unexpecting mind.
She seeks help
but no one will listen
to her victim’s tale.
And so he continues,
day after day,
ravishing her emotions
until she can no longer
bear it.
And they say
it was self-defense
but she knows better.
It was for all of them,
all of those he tormented,
for everyone who couldn’t find
Their way.
She knows she fought
for those who could not.
She knows, and she finds
her peace.
