I was 10. It's not my fault that when My doctor compliments my hair It send a tingle down my spine And makes me feel on edge, Alert and wondering if all men Smell like him.
I was 13. It's not my fault that my gym teacher Likes to sit in the change room With me while I try to skip class. And he tells me I need to eat more to Fill out my figure. That I'll grow into a "Beautiful young lady"
I'm 15. It's not my fault the 23 yr old man Looks at me and wonders what I taste like.
I'm 17 It's not my fault that my friends dad Tells her to invite me on every trip And that one time I went too far Into the lake and he had to come save me by holding on tight and grazing parts of me that made me feel small and quiet. And wish I had drowned instead.
