Analysis of No.shame
Walking down the street
I stopped, I turned, I looked
North one to meet
Feeling a little spooked
Still feeling nervous as I walk towards the park
It's starting to rain and starting to get dark
Turn around the corner and walk down the lane
Walking faster and faster with each step i gain
Squelch Squelch onto the grass off the ramp
I hear from the rear
Grass getting damp
Nothing to fear
Keep on walking
Keep plodding on
Don't here talking
If there were people they are now gone
It's the blood I see first before I feel the pain
Grabbed by the hair pulled down the lane
Open my mouth attempting to shout
But for the first time ever nothing comes out
Smack bang face against the wall
Not going to resist just going to play ball
Jeans pulled down knickers to the side
I scream as he enters me and pulls my legs wide
Thrust thrust whilst pulling my hair
I silently yelp as scream I wouldn't dare
A few more pumps
Banging my head getting a few more lumps
Then boom he comes inside of me
Finally he let's me be
He walks away with no disgrace
Me left there pain all over my face
Pick myself up
Onwards I go
No one knows what's up
North one needs to know
