LIFE
I can think back to my past
It seems like it’s gone by so fast
The memories of what used to be-faded
The thought of what once was makes me feel oh, so Jaded.
I can’t go back in time to stop this pain
But if I could-I’d live it over again

No child should have to live the way that I had before
I wish that I was good enough instead of being just the
dirt on the floor
I’m glad to have a life; I just may not have been here
If I stabbed someone with a knife, cause I was in so much
fear
I was abused by all the men. I was basically their whore
until the very end.
I couldn’t tell what happened, for fear of my life.
I guess that’s why I wanted out of my stupid life
I was raped so many times by people of the family
How am I supposed to know what was happening to me?
I had difficult times, sometimes they were ok
But being abused so many times made me want to go away

I couldn’t help but want to try to please everyone around
me
I guess that I was just too young to even see
That what had happened was out of their lust
It’s truth telling time, and someone’s going to bust
It’s time to disappear again. I don’t want to point my
finger
I just want to go away and be not with the ones who still
linger
I couldn’t face them if I had to go to court today
I’d be so deeply ashamed; I’d lose all my words I’d need
to
say.

No one should take advantage of their siblings
Brothers sisters, or their soon to be Step-daughter.
But I just guess we’re gonna keep quarrelling
Cause someone’s in the house of slaughter
So, who’s next? What victim shall you attack?
I just guessed that out of shame you’d never want to come
back.
But so many times I was wrong, you came back for me
And I couldn’t defend myself from what history will make
me
be.
A Child, no longer a virgin in the eyes of the world
But what do the rapists care? They don’t know how it feels
To be taken over by a complete dominant force
To be threatened that if you didn’t do as they say,
something would happen to your family.
I guess some people are just perverted in their heads.
I guess some people never think things through
But I can’t help night and day
To think and pray for all of you
