Unbroken
I was sold for a pack of cigarettes when I was only two
At that age there was nothing I could say or do
At the age of five I was raped by my dad's best friends son
A week later my dad killed him and his story was done
At the age of 8 I was sodomized and shamed
He told me if I told he would kill my family and I would be blamed
At 15 me and my best friend were taken from the side of the road by a man
2 months later I found a way to escape that's where the hell began
At 16 I was kidnapped and raped by 4 men
The police didn't believe me because I couldn't remember everything or how it happened to me again
At 31 I was stabbed through my lung and heart
That was the day my life fell apart
I died for over 9 minutes and came back to life
Sometimes i wonder why i wasnt killed by that knife
For the last ten years my life has been hell
The guy that did this only got 7 months in jail
I live with the sickness from what he had done
God why do i always have to suffer why am i the one
Everyone says we go through what we can take
I'm a stronger woman from this for goodness sake
Life seems so unfair I am now so broken
While all these awful people are happy and outspoken
I will never say I cant take anymore
Everytime I say these words my life becomes an uproar
I beg and I plea for God to set me free
All I want in my life is to be happy
