When They Preyed, I Prayed

When they preyed, I prayed

But not on my knees,

That position left me too vulnerable

To the predators that be

They had familiar faces,

they were family

They had the power

Were they too blind to see?

I was a fucking baby,

A little bitty girl

The shit wasn’t right

To introduce to my world

But dicks were hard,

They need a release

Didn’t give a damn

I was only going on 3

So when they preyed, I prayed

But not on my knees,

But get ready muthafuckas

It’s my time to break free

The ones there to protect me

Made me do terrible things

Suck this, touch that,

You know what to do,

Bitch c’mon

You been doing this since you were two

Swept away in an illusion of protection

The complete annihilation of my innocence

In my mind I cried the silent tears that I better hide

Don’t let them see you cry, you just may die this time

So, I prayed while they preyed

I prayed.
