Rape
25 February, 2004
Author: Tims_Babygirl
Just yesterday I was a little girl,
with Barbie's and play dolls and jump ropes that twirl,
I was happy and care free, my life was my own,
adolescences crept in and I started to roam,
I walked on the edge, it was dark and inviting,
experimenting with things that i thought were exciting,
I took a vacation from things i believed true,
I tried to be different, my identity new,
I spoke a new language, the street slang i heard,
it consisted of mostly four lettered words,
I found a new family, I rejected whats real,
I didn't care how my own family would feel,
They cried and they begged and they warned and they followed,
trying to protect me from the bullshit i swallowed,
so many tears, so many prayers,
some of them mine but most of them there's,
then one evil night i was in the wrong place,
the facade it was over, fear covered my face,
I wanted to scream, I wanted to shout,
please Jesus save me, but no words came out,
the thick of the fear covered me like a cloak,
I can't take a breath get your hands off my throat,
It felt like forever, Christ will i live?
I'm just a kid, i have gifts i must give,
my heart beat is pounding, the room black as coal,
he's hurting my body, but he can't touch my soul,
please let me survive, please let me return,
to the life that i love i much more to learn,
i need my mother, my sisters and my brother,
my friends and and all of thee others,
And when it was over i struggled to my feet
I vow i will never go back to the streets.
