Truth Be Told I'm Scared To Love
He Said I Feel You But Learn To Move On
As If Im Not Strong
I Cant Blame Him Though Because He's Never Done Me Wrong
But He's Never Heard My Sad Song
He Hasnt Felt The Pain I've Known For Too Long
I'm Talking About 5 Years Long
On June 13 2006 I Became A Victim Of A Night Gone Wrong
I Was Raped By Someone As Close As My Brother
Even Though I Loved Him As If He Was My Mother
But He Did The Unthinkable And Made Me Another
Another Victim Of A Night Gone Wrong
I Was Only Thirteen
Too Young To Even Care About The Birds And The Bees
Yet Old Enough To Know What This Man Was Doing To Me
And I Know It Wasnt My Fault
But I Wouldnt Change A Thing Cuz After All
It Taught Me How To Live And Learn To Fall
The Pain I Feel I Wont Deny
It Lets Me Know Im Still In The Fight
I'm Still Alive
My Story I Can Still Rewrite
But No Its Not All Good
And Its Not All Fine
See The Words Rape And Victim
Have Been Assigned To Define Me
But See Depression And Self Hate
Are Always Undermined
And Somehow Intertwined
And Never Too Far Behind
But Always On My Mind
Which Seems To Be Confined
To These Four Words
When All I Want Is To Be Free Like A Bird
But Im Stuck In A Phase
Which I Cant Just Shake
And Depressions The Name
Despite What You Think I love My Life
Even Though Memories Can Cut Like A Knife
But I Choose To Take It And Strive
With My Story I Can Teach Girls To Survive
In This World Where Hate Seems To Thrive
And Love Seems Deprived
I Can Teach Them That Were Still Alive
Were Still In The Fight
Our Story We Can Still Rewrite
Despite What They Think
So I Thank God For This Life
And Continue To Strive
Maybe Then I Wont Be That Girl
I'll Be His Wife As Pure As A Pearl
Intellectual Enough To Send Your Mind On A Whirl
Yet Sweet Enough For Your Love To Unfurl - Yessi C.
