You whisper to each other
I watch with curious eyes
You see, at four you just don’t think that way
I shall sleep here I exclaim
In a flash the innocence is gone, the fun and games are replaced
You left me with shame
Pinned me down, covered my mouth
It’s two against one here
And I’m just a girl

The memories have become blurred and fuzzy
Little fragments of truth seep through
And yes, I am sure it is real
It’s something I’ve never spoken of
Something so secret and riddled with shame
But I wasn’t to blame

Pulled my stockings down, trying to scream
You covered my mouth
Trying to escape, wiggle my way free of your grasp
You pinned me down
I have denied, and questioned
Would you call it as it is?
Had it been now it would have been a different matter
But you see, at four you just don’t think that way

The pain [that comes with living]
So intense it can’t be described, hoping it will go away
This feeling of being unfulfilled and good for nothing
The pressure is immense
Emptiness and lack of colour
This world is grey, and I am without experience

I can understand
Why people fade away and turn into non-entities
Society forcing us to conform
We are all without identities
Simply follow those who scream the loudest
But what of those that prefer to live in silence
I will not be victim
Of pathetic peer-pressure violence

I belong with those who dare to defy
Not afraid of consequence
We stand by what we believe in
Until the day that I die
I will stay true and pure
No fake smiles, nothing sugar-coated
No pretend
This life I will endure
To the very end

A very deep impression on me you have made
I am someone you ignore
Steal quick glances my way, you just don’t see me
Her, Someone, Something
You, the stranger; mean more to me than you should

I’ll be a shadow, a protector
Your small, fragile frame
I wish I could be the one to embrace you
Help you heal the scars, the way I healed my own
I am you
I’m just one chapter behind

Different, yet we’re still the same
Honestly, I would do anything you asked of me
If you would just question
I’ll stay invisible for you, let’s face it
I am Nothing, No one, Anybody
The stranger; but I could’ve been someone
