I, She, Me...
If I told you I was scared would u believe me?
Probably not cause you could never see me.
What if I told you I didn’t know me?
I only knew of the girl that use to be
She use to smile with grace and dance with praise
Now she sit and gaze like what happened
She doesn’t even know herself; to scared to except her past
She ask herself what happened why her happiness didn’t last
What happened to her?
Well this little girl was mistreated and this is what is left
What’s left of her?
No one interfered; they just toke a seat
No one heard the little girl that lied full of cries
No one could hear they couldn’t see
The little girl that lied and touched between her thighs inappropriately
They only saw her smile hiding the pain of what she felt
It wasn't visible but it was there
No one asked her she got no help
No one took the time to see her
And soon after she couldn’t see her either
Left in that house with one who couldn’t see nearly blind watching after she?
Because they believed with family she was safe but family hurts to
She wanted to speak she wanted to tell but didn't know how
Just to young and couldn’t understand what was going on all around
Instead she held it inside held back from a love so strong
A bond between loved ones a whole nother tone
She was taught that family could never go wrong family was important
Family was love as long as family is together they are strong
Family was there to help to hold you hold you through it all
But some, some held to long some family held wrong
Some held too strong and that’s when the little girl I once knew was gone.
She was tricked and deceived from a person who she believed loved her
Her personal value it was gone it was hurt it was drawn
She was to little to comprehend but she knew her trust was broken
She sat in the mist she grew and got over it
In the house were no one could see but the blind
She learned, she forgave, she became new
She forgave those of whom she not only trusted but also loved
I was now free; I no longer thought nor spoke of what happened to me
I only see happiness for I am now blind I don’t see nor believe the past
I have forgotten
But really have I forgot no I’ve only just misplaced
The thoughts of my past, which truly haven’t escaped
In my mind they still last
Even though I secretly hurt I still smile
Like a mask on my face
When I see him I forgive
I still love him despite his mistake
I say hello face to face as if I didn’t know
That man my cousin my friend
My hurt….
He’s all were it began...
