A poem written by me when my abuser was finally sentenced and put away.
Don't let him in, don't let him win, but you did the sin cause you didn't listen

You were respected therefore I was infected with lies and they called it a cry for help yet inside I was dying trying to tell my side that no one was buying so why bother trying

Kids these days and their generation with their infestation of stories through creation and imagination

You said I made it all up and that I said too much and that now I lost your trust

Yes it was a secret and I know I had to keep it but something inside me said reveal it

You know I still love you and that I still trust you and I didn't want to lose what I had with you

But you made a decision and I was the victim of something they say you can't control

I call bull cause I played a role which meant ripping out my soul that I kept so perfectly for you

Did you confuse my age, don't you see I'm enraged and why I put you in this cage to live out your precious days here

I was always seen but never heard, living a life that you disturbed, breathing air that you nurtured promising you'd make things better but only making them worse

I thought my life was cursed so I searched and searched for some meaning to my birth

I stopped going to church because why worship an earth that let so many bad things yearn towards me

But so I've learned the tables have turned, because I am the free girl and you are now jail bird

Jail bird tell me am I crazy now? Are you happy now? Is life better now?

Jail bird tell me who's lying now and who's crying now?

Well it isn't me
