Scream it

I never knew it would happen to me
I always promised it wouldn't, mom
I told you I'd stick with my friends,
And that I'd never talk to strange men.

Well mom, I thought I could trust him
Ever since I knew him I did
We never thought he was a threat
Because he was a family friend.

It was so unexpected mom
If I'd known it were going to happen,
I would have gotten up and ran
I couldn't, but I did what was second best.

He started going sweet on me,
Feeling here and touching there.
He wouldn't let me wriggle free--
And I couldn't stop that kiss.

His hand slipped up my thigh
And in that moment, I paused
I couldn't get away form him
And I was starting to get scared.

Finally it registered in my mind,
I started screaming and kicking
At that moment, I was glad of my roots
And that I could be rather loud.

He might have been locked up mom
I might be safe again, too
But mom you don't understand
Even if it's in the past, it's not something I forget.
