what they didnt know

I have a story that no one knows 

A painful secret that continues to grow

17 years I spent hiding the pain 

All because of my shame 

My demons know how to fight 

But they are never in your site 

What you don’t know 

Could make the tears over flow 

I was just a little girl so scared and small 

With no one to turn to at all 

School was going to be my happy place 

But you guys did not meet me with a warm embrace 

If only you knew

what I went through

Maybe I could’ve gotten help 

Instead of having to yelp 

Its time to tell 

That ive been through hell 

Punch after punch 

Not getting lunch 

Drugs were always around 

They made my parents drowned

I witnessed to much 

And got touched 

He was a grown man 

With a vicious plan 

He raped me 

Even though I plea 

His screams could bust your ear drums 

We always lived in slums 

He took all of our money 

And thought it was funny 

His first were like stones 

That chilled me to the bone 

The spit flew from his lips 

I was close enough to feel the drips

If only you knew 

What I went through 

Maybe you would be kind 

And not so blind
