Snow White is awake

Fri, 05/20/2022 - 10:17 -- Mjmk

My name is Snow White

I got my name from my mother

Who died when I was young

But I love her still

 

But anyway,

Where do I live?

With my prince of course!

I love him, 

And if he hadn't kissed me that day

I would still be in that casket

 

So I thank him with all of my heart

I am so lucky he kissed me

And I never wonder why he did it

 

Even though I was asleep

Even though I couldn't say no

Even though he had no consent

Even though I had no control

To tell him to stop

 

But I'm alive

And that's what counts

 

And so when he tells me to lay down

I do

And when he tries to take off my shirt

I let him

And when he starts to kiss me

I lay there, silent

 

But then I don't want to

It starts to hurt

So I tell him

But he keeps going

 

He won't stop

Even though I'm telling him

It hurts

Stop

I'm begging

I'm screaming

I'm crying

 

But he tells me I'm pretty

And he tells me to be good

So I lay back down

Just like in the woods

 

Even though I was asleep

Even though I couldn't say no

Even though he had no consent

Even though I had no control

To tell him to stop

 

But this time

This time

I'm not asleep

This time I'm awake

And I won't stay down

 

I'll get up

So I scream

I kick

I hit

I shout

I cry

I scream

 

He pushes me down

But I push back

Because I am awake
