Everything's Alright
Don't come near me..
please stop right there.
I don't want your hands...
Although I know I said stop,
a million different times,
your hands caress my tiny body.
Groping and grabbing,
while I'm pleading and crying.
I don't want to feel this pain anymore,
please stop right there.
My mum's walking up now,
like she hasn't seen a thing.
But we both know she has.
Tears are streaming down my face,
snot dried on my cheeks.
"Mummy please help me..."
I call out in the night.
He puts his hand over my mouth,
"Shut up or it'll be worse"
And suddenly, he's gone...
I wake up with a fright,
To terrified to move,
I know what your plan is...
To take advantage.
It's been 13 years, now...
I'm 16.
I still wake up in the night,
crying, pleading, begging.
For you to let me go.
I still hear your rough growl,
whispering in my ear,
"It's alright, babygirl, just a minute and I'll leave. I'll be finished in a minute..."
You said that to me,
I knew better than to believe it.
Because you haven't left yet.
Not mentally.
Your voice still haunts me every night,
when everyone tells me...
everythings alright.
