Explain. Poem by Taylor Fong

Tell me how.
Please.
Tell he how the hell it’s my fault.
Tell me why you’re blaming me for this happening.
Tell me how it’s my fault that he pushed me down and held me captive.
Tell me how it’s my fault I said no and he didn’t listen.
Tell me how it’s my fault I told him to stop and he ignored me.
Tell me how it’s my fault I tried to push him off me and he just gripped me harder.
Tell me how it’s my fault I didn’t want to lose my virginity.
Tell me how it’s my fault I’m broken inside and don’t know what to do.
