Did You Hear Me ?


The truth i hold, Took years to unfold, Locked up and never told Now i speak, For I am done being weak A story I will tell, Awakening the pits of hell Pinned against the bathroom wall, being 8 a little small. Tongue against my chest, you can imagine the rest. Do you hear me? You was like my father, that became my hero. All I wanted to do was to play that game tho. Remembering me saying God doesn't love me? NO! Maybe Joseph hated me? NO! Why did he pick me ? Why did he take my hope, my pride and virginity? Did you hear me? Accepting God as my savior, I had to change my behavior! Tears streaming from my eyes. Caused my life was built on lies. Over powered by fears. Kept quiet for many years. Secrets tore me up inside. Did you hear me ? Never admitted but i can say: Enough is enough Today I will stay tough And maybe for once you can see That no one can longer hurt me! Did You Hear Me ?
