“Don’t Ask Me What I Wore!” by Retired U.S. Veteran

“Don’t Ask Me What I Wore,” a Poem by Sandy Dee, Retired Veteran, Founder of A Pawsability 4 Veterans, as recited by her on The Life Changes Show Episode 815

Don’t Ask Me What I Wore!

My hopes like the wind scattered.
The moon shined light down on me,
But in the break of day,
They shunned my voice and
Said don’t speak!
My clothes ripped and
Tears flowed.
My voice was shredded now
On the barbed wire fence.
The pain was so intense,
And the fear was
Stronger .
If only I could raise
My gaze and then, they
Would know, what my
Voice has always been
Trying to say.
If only, you would
Listen!
I AM a survivor of
Rape!
Like you who have
Survived a
Plane crash.
Don’t ask Me
What I Wore!
