I carry the last name Of a man who violated me They didn't change my name Because I was too young To speak the truth About what happened to me
But when you're three And you're talking about things You don't learn about until you're 11 People should believe you, right?
The court smiles at me, a menacing grin As they tell me 'you're ****** for sure' And then they walk away Satisfied with their case
And here I am now Writing that name on papers Because they need my last name But I don't belong to that name Not does it belong to me
You can't hold me hostage with your name You can't tell me that I'm crazy That I'm lost my head But what you can do is **** right off And take your name with you
I hate this last name That I have for the rest if my life I hate this name you gave me Along with your abuse
Writing with disgust Everytime I write that stupid Last name Your name
To all those out there like me. Stay strong. Stay safe. Someone does love you, and they love you as you are.
