Day One (Revised Edition)

This is a poem I wrote in response to another poem I read on the site. I understand that this poem may cause a little bit of controversy and touch on some very sensitive issues; however, it is important to understand that this is a fairly experimental piece designed to tell an often-told and very emotional story from a different, albeit disturbing, perspective. I cannot stress this enough: his story is not intended to glorify rape or violence against women in any way at all. I understand the phrase "he who protests is all the more likely guilty," but I do not feel comfortable merely publishing this poem without expressing my explicit views on the subject. There is some sexually related material in the poem; however, it is not presented in an erotic or positive way. There is also some strong language. Reader discretion is advised.
