Our little secret
Mama it happened again
He did those things to me
made me feel ashamed
shh, it’s our little secret
Mama, don’t leave me with him
What if he comes close
If I can feel his breath on my skin
Shh, It’s our little secret
Mama trenched gashes caress me
but I can’t feel it anymore
Come a little closer, can’t you see?
Shh, it’s our little secret
Mama, I cut a little too deep,
took too many pills
Please let me fall asleep
Shh, it’s our little secret
Mama, I see you crying
"Beloved daughter and friend"
I’m not sorry,
I was so tired of trying.
Shh, it’s our little secret, our little secret, our little secret.
written when I was 15 - in a group home for foster kids.
