when i was younger my mother said
"your step dad wants you over for the night"
well too bad, I said, I wanted him dead
and I would always put up a fight

she always wondered why
I avoided him at all costs
I fed her lie after lie
refused to reveal my loss

he took away my childhood
because of him I was unclean
never ever thought he could
be so devilishly mean

I couldn't break her heart
could never tell her why
lying was my only art
and all I could do was cry

he tore me open and ruined me
destroyed my childish ways
never thought I'd break free
he hurt me for days and days

he scarred my heart and broke me
and all my trust in men
my life had changed completely
because he ***** me when I was 10
