No emotions

That was what was expected of me

Yet I could not stop crying

As he thrust into me

While she video taped

I struggled against my bonds

I would never get a chance

To say my story

My credibility tainted by my gender

A man.

A gentle reminder that guys have to go through this too. They get raped too. They get shamed too. They are allowed to show emotions too. Patriarchy affects both genders. Live on, and love on y'all.
