At the age of one 

My mom gave birth to me after she had her son 

At the age of two 

I didn’t have a clue about the disasters that I was going through 

And at the age of three 

He started yelling at me 

And at the age of four 

I wasn’t the same anymore

I wasn’t the same kid

Because of what he did

I got raped at the age of four 

And it happened more and more 

At the age of five 

I needed to survive 

From all the pain 

Some of it it’s too hard to explain 

And when I do explain it 

I start crying because I was hit 

Every time I started to realize what he was doing to me

He made sure no one could see 

At the age of six 

There were so many conflicts 

That’s when it really started to turn bad

My mom and dad got really mad 

And that’s when I knew 

That I wasn’t going to get through 

Because I’m not that strong 

I felt like I don’t belong

I cry and I cry

I didn’t know what it meant to want to die 

Until my life flashed before my eyes 

And I knew it was because of the lies 

But I thought it was my fault 

As default 

Even though I did nothing wrong 

It wasn’t long

Before it, all started happening again

And when it didn’t stop the men 

Keep torturing me 

As if I meant nothing to them and that’s what they see

I felt terrible after

I no longer had the same laughter

I was no longer the same little girl 

That was brought into this world
