Broken Generations


I come from a family of broken dreams And false hope Poisoned by molestation and pedophilia All I know is where I come from All I know is what I've seen Generation after generation Derived these broken Black American queens Forced into an unstable state of mind Brought upon by men With a broken sense of conscientious Who hate and rape women But still evade imprisonment My mother was molested My aunts were no different My sister was too And I was raped At the tender age of who knows Cause they won't tell me Because they'd rather I forget it So meanwhile my mind is in chains Yet my cousin is free to go They're protecting the devil Because that is all they know

<p>Wow, thats some real talent you have there. Always remember that no matter what, keep your strength. Never discard your past, for your past makes you the strong person you are today. Never forget that. God bless.</p>
