Innocence Revoked
A poem about society and double standards

Fair skin, blonde hair, white dress
Untouched by the world, innocent
What many men dream of
A virgin, the ultimate fantasy
One day
That girl will lift her angelic veil
Above her petite waist
Her innocence will be no more
Corrupted by a wielded sword
No longer a virgin
No longer innocent
No longer wanted by men
What is she now
Other than dirty, shameful
A slut is what she will be labeled
A slut
For laying with a man
Whom she believed she loved
A single act
Is still a sin nonetheless
Her purity, ruined
Why is it
We must live in a world like this
So quick to judge
So quick to shame
An innocent girl, broken
Not by manhood
But by society.
