Katie dressed a thousand times Before she found the perfect choice She was ecstatic to say the least Tonight was a date with Royce She still could not believe her luck The football captain asked her! Then kissed her gently on the lips To let her know he was sure She combed her hair again and again Applied lipstick…the “smudge proof” type Asked her Mom if she looked “okay” Mom laughed at all her hype She checked the time…hmm…he’s a little late She began to pace the floor Then felt her heart quicken its pace Royce was at her door! She kissed her Mom and Dad goodnight Confirmed her curfew of eleven Then Royce opened the car door for her And she felt like she was in heaven! He drove her up to Lookout Ridge Assured her the movie would wait Then began to try and unbutton her blouse Telling her this was fate Katie fought with all she could She could not keep him away He stole her innocence in that car And told everyone the next day Katie’s head was hung in shame The snickers were so cruel The price she paid for just one night One date with someone “cool” She never said “yes” to the deed he did The torment she went through She couldn’t tell a single soul She did not know what to do She finished her year in school alone No friends, no dates, no pride Every time Royce would pass her by She would turn and hide In silence she suffered all alone Until one day she saw Royce and her sister In gaping agony she watched As Royce leaned over and kissed her She tried to warn her of what could be But sis just wouldn’t hear “What happens now because of me, because of all my fear?” Katie cried as she told her tale But by now no one believed her story Until finally someone else came forward A timid girl who’s name is Tori Then forth came Lisa, Tanya, and Renee All girls who lived the nightmare too Royce was taken off to jail The nightmare confirmed to be true On helpless girls Royce did prey Until someone finally spoke aloud The price they paid just to fit in To be part of the “in” crowd Royce no longer can do his deed In the back seat of cars His life is spent staring out From behind prison bars. **************************************************** Much of my writing is targeted towards teens, I hope you find words you like and ways to be strong!
