I am not a child,
I am not your child.
In fact, I am all grown up.
I am all grown up,
but I cannot forget my childhood
because of you.
I kiss girls,
not boys,
because I am afraid that they will hurt me,
(like the monster you are) like you did.
I cover up,
extra clothes,
because I rarely wore clothes as a child
and you would peer at me through
the crack in the bathroom wall.
I don't sing with the birds.
I don't hug my teddy bear.
I don't leave the house.
I am terrified you are out there,
hunting for me like I am your prey.
But I am not a child,
I am all grown up,
and I can beat you up.
I am not a child,
and I will not call you "My Daddy"
and I will not let you call me "Baby".
I am not a child,
and I will not let you touch me.
I am gold, I am radiant, I am light.
And you will not ruin that,
ever, ever, ever again.
