I was only seven years old
A small and little soul
When he pinned me down and took my youth away
I learned by then not to cry
I learned that night my mother was not on my side
Something that should have been mine to give away
She traded for her safety that one dark night
You think you are safe when you are in bed
Snuggled deep under the covers well your mother sleeps next door
But I found out with all the pain
But my mother only had me for her personal gain
She used me to safe herself
She gave me to him and told me to shut my mouth
I don't know how it could have been worse then that
To know my mother traded me as her husbands sex toy
Or that her husband took my youth only when I was seven years old.
I was only seven years old
A small and little soul
When my mother woke me to what the world had in store
A small and little soul
When he pinned me down and took my youth away
I learned by then not to cry
I learned that night my mother was not on my side
Something that should have been mine to give away
She traded for her safety that one dark night
You think you are safe when you are in bed
Snuggled deep under the covers well your mother sleeps next door
But I found out with all the pain
But my mother only had me for her personal gain
She used me to safe herself
She gave me to him and told me to shut my mouth
I don't know how it could have been worse then that
To know my mother traded me as her husbands sex toy
Or that her husband took my youth only when I was seven years old.
I was only seven years old
A small and little soul
When my mother woke me to what the world had in store
Author notes
This poem is about something that happened to me when I was just seven and THe thoughts still come back to haunt me.I never told a soul until I was 14 but when I did tell them the cops gave me one piece of mind that very day.That the man that took something from that I could never get back will never get his freedom back.He was in jail until the day he died.So I finally got piece of mind
