For years I couldn’t talk about it
About what happened to me
It felt so painful & shameful
I was so confused you see
But the silence was deafening
As it roared inside my head
My stomach in knots
I knew it had to be said
I’d form the words
But couldn’t speak
So back into myself
Further I’d retreat
Some thing so awful
I couldn’t comprehend
Shut away in the darkness
Days in bed I would spend
In physical pain
I’d cry for release
Praying someone could help me
End this silence please
I thought I needed help from an outside source
Spending time and money on course after course
the work was so hard to do
I dug in deep I faced the truth
A little voice inside said
Let go girl, Iv got you
Don’t be ashamed and do not fear
To say the words out loud
Be brave be bold and tell the truth
Even though it’s hard to hear
10years old just a child
Groomed and led astray
Devastating consequences
Still with me to this day
No more silence
No more shame
My little soul was never to blame
I have the strength to heal
To soothe away my pain 🙏🏼
