Prompt : Abduction

#ourpoetryjourneyjul18
Prompt : Abduction
Day#6
This is my first try on such prompts. I hope it's not that bad and I will improve in future.

You'll be fine,
You'll be safe,
They told her.
She was confident,
She was elegant,
But what did the new place do to her?
Did she expect it?
Did her parents except or did her friends?
None!
As always,
She was travelling with her friend,
A guy who is more like her brother,
As society would always view it,
They spoke bad about her,
And that night,
What did this society do?
Literally nothing!
She was on her way back from work,
She was abducted,
She was tortured,
She was raped,
She was used like that of a paper,
Did she deserve all this?
No girl does,
The society says,
But what really happens?
Literally nothing again!
Shameful!
This girl,
Who was confident,
Who was bold to face anyone,
Did not have to courage to do the same after she was brought back home.
How will she be able to,
When people hold on to that topic,
Ever time they see her or her parents?
Shameful!
Those guys,
Where are they?
They will be happily roaming outside.
This is the case every time.
No woman is considered as a normal person,
Once she's abducted,
Once she's tortured,
Once she's raped.
Shameful!
When will we change?
When?
Shameful!
