You touched me when I didn’t want you to And I was so young I didn’t know what to do It was your own personal game Even though it filled me with shame I let it go on, maybe for a little too long Until I started to feel like I didn’t belong I shut myself out from the world And sat alone while my thoughts whirled Through my head, until I couldn’t stand To look at myself without feeling like I was under your command That was when everything started to go downhill And I began to start losing my will With all the emotions pulling me apart I could feel them begin to break my heart I could feel myself starting to drown in pain And it made me go insane Why did I feel so much guilt? It was making my self-confidence wilt Why did I feel so sad? Maybe because he was always like my second dad Why did I feel so insecure? Maybe because of what I had to endure Why did I feel so alone? Maybe because no one else had known Why did I feel so angry? After all, I was finally free Or so I thought at least But instead, it was like the pain just increased And I was back to square one Which was thinking about what he had done And asking myself why I mean for years we all thought he was a good guy Then came the nightmares And nothing else compares To the way they made me feel Because it was always so surreal Like I was reliving the day When all I wanted was for it to go away Why won’t the pain go away? But instead, it decides to stay I mean what did I do To deserve what you put me through? Maybe I will never know But I do know that I will grow Through everything you did Because god forbid I let another day go by Of me sitting in my room trying not to cry Because I am done Letting myself feel like you won

What you did to me.
