Here is a poem I wrote a while ago that is raw and real about my past and speaks up about what I have been through...
I remember that day
My innocence lost
No longer a child
It came with a cost
You took so much from me
During those painful days
I did not understand
As it passed in a haze
But now I remember
I remember so well
Now I am older
Now I can tell
I can speak for myself
I can give words to the story
All the things that you did to me
All gruesome and gory
You took off my clothes
You touched parts of me
You showed me things
No child should see
You kissed and you fondled me
Made me give you head
You made me feel dirty
By the things that you said
You told me not to tell
You silenced my voice
It’s been gone for too long
Now I will make my own choice
I choose to speak up
For my child self’s sake
To tell my whole story
For the world to take
This child you’ve scarred
Inside of me
This child you’ve wounded
Needs to be set free
I’m willing to learn
To weep and to cry
Over this loss
This death that I died
But I’ve been resurrected
Risen in Christ
He died on the cross
To pay the whole price
At this I will celebrate
My voice I will raise
I will sing all night long
As I give Him all praise
