PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I'm sitting in this stinking cell,

and I am REALLY pissed off.

I only get more upset,

each time a "pig" would cough.

"You can't keep a victim here," I'd say,

"Your cop friend raped me."

But who would believe a whore?

They must have thought I was crazy.

I was starting to realize,

that I was in some seriously deep shit.

So I told them to bring in my doctor,

and then she could take a rape kit.

I wasn't sure if they'd really do it

or just leave me in there to rot.

So imagine my surprise when,

my doctor said to lay down on my cot.

I also was happy, and flying incredibly high

Like a super hero with a cape.

When my doctor came up gravely and said,

"Guess what? She's not lying this is rape."

I was secretly feeling a sense of joy

as if everything in the world was right.

That dirty pig-headed copper wouldn't get away

and she'd make sure everyone knew what he did tonight!

The doctor went with the officers

they asked me if I had money for a lawyer.

As if they weren't entirely positive anymore

that I was just a low-level hooker.

I danced around my cell happily

finally knowing that I would be free

and get that evil deceiving bastard,

who dared to lay his hands on me!

He must have thought I was joking

when I said that I would get him back.

But he doesn't know me, Mercedes McCullen,

when I'm on the attack!

I'd make sure that he'd feel my wrath,

I'd take everything he owned, He'd pay!

Despite his familiar last name

like one of someone I knew in the old days.

And because they had something in common

at least besides choseing me to rape, a last name

I'd draw him up in the legal proceedings

a cat and mouse kind of game....

The officers brought me to an interrigation room,

saying whether or not to press charges was my choice.

I was sure that they must be stupid.

"Of course I'm pressing charges," I said while I rejoiced.

They made me fill out paper work then asked

"Are you sure you know who raped you?"

I was sure that they all cringed inside

when I screamed, "Of course I do!"

So they told me to give them the name

of the person that they HAD to bring in.

I lifted my head as high as I could and said

"Officer Steven Hawkins, I'm sure you all know him."
