I was just a little girl. Full of life and happy. And he was my favorite, Person in the world. On that fateful evening. While everyone was sleeping. On the sofa we laid. I was wrapped in his arms, Asleep and unafraid. I quietly awoke. To a soft, gentle stroke. His fingers slipping, Under my clothes. My body, My mind, My heart froze. As he left his hand prints, All over my bare skin. I just wanted this to end. My mind filled with confusion. His with desire and lust. I began questioning, If this was just an illusion. Or a dream I was in. What happened to trust? I tightly closed my eyes. And held my breath. As I laid there cold and numb. I fell into a silent trance. To him I succumbed. As he placed his hand over mine. Guiding it down, Under his jeans. I quietly prayed. That this was just a dream. As he took his time, And played with me. The walls echoed in silence. As I held my breath. Slowly, wishing for my death. Holding back all my tears. I was overpowered by the fear. I kept quiet, for many years. I was only seven, When he sucked the life, Right out of me. Left me scared, exposed and scarred. And forever changed. When my soul became, Chained and caged.
