Seed


II know you were young And yes you were innocent You told him to quit it But he never listened You cried and cried You told him to stop But he said “Shut up girl!” As he eased his way on top Every evening On a Friday night He snuck into your bedroom And whispered “You better not put up a fight” He was disgusting He always smelled And when he was done He said “You better not tell!” So for months and months You’ve kept quiet You were afraid that if you told People would think you were lying But one day You left out the front door Finally realizing That you couldn’t take it anymore You walked around Not knowing what to do So you went to the police And told them what that man had done to you The police go to your house And take that man to jail So now you’re thinking “Justice has prevailed” Now you’re happy And finally free But nine months from now You’ll give birth to me.
