Someone's touching me


I woke up someone's touching me Wait what? Hold on say it again I woke up someone's touching me You see I woke up in a shock I was sleeping soundly you know I was Dreaming that I was dancing with unicorns You know dreams of a kid Just to wake up To see some adult touching me Instantly shattering my childhood I was confused and shaken An adult that I treated like family An adult I never thought would do this to me Many questions flood inside my head The first question was why? Why me? I'm was just a 12 year old girl Full of innocence and I was still enjoying my youth I don't know why me? His wife was beside him but why me? The second question was what? What did I do to make him do this to me? Was it something I wear? No ,no that's not it I was wearing pants and a shirt When he touched me What did I do ? Tell me tell me It happened years ago but It felt like it was yesterday I don't know if that was my fault I don't know, I don't know I'M STILL SHAKEN BROKEN AND CONFUSED they say maybe it was my fault Maybe I was wearing clothes that was sexually appealing to him Like a food served on a gold platter But how can you see a 12 year old girl as attractive if you're an adult Are you out of your mind? They say it was nobody's fault Because the man has his "needs" and he needs to comply to it Because he is a man and he has a right to do whatever he pleases He won't hear your pleas as he pleases himself Please please please Tell me why Because this thought clings to me like a disease Slowly eating me alive as the time pass me by. Please tell me it's not my fault.
