Mum, I have a new friend who’s TWELVE!
Can I play at her house up the road?
I don’t care, just stay out of my way
And do everything that you are told
And now I’m locked inside a room
It doesn’t belong to someone who’s seven
There are strange pictures on the wall
Pictures of pretty but barely dressed women
My friend ran off because she was bored
And her brother told me he’d play
So I did everything that I was told
And he said this is where I should stay
The room is dark, smelly and dusty
It’s not very nice here at all
The walls look dark brown and dirty
And in here I feel very small
Her brother comes to play at last
But still he’s locked the door
Should I be afraid in here?
I’m not even really sure
I’ll let you out I promise
If you’ll just let me see
You know that it doesn’t matter
You know that it’s only me
My sister lets me do it
You know it’s not that bad
It happens to lots of girls you know
It shouldn’t make you sad
He seems like a nice big brother
And he’s really very tall
I guess he knows what he’s talking about
Although I'm really not that sure
At last he lets me leave him
And I make my way back home
Then sit for a while in my bedroom
Because I need some time alone
Did you have a good time? She says
When its time for me to have tea
You can go back any time you like
As long as you don’t bother me
Author notes
I was inspired to write this by the lyrics of a song by the sensational 'Newsboys' - Let it all Come Out http://www.shinemedia.de/newsboys/html/songs/zlyr_go_s05.htm in particular the line "You are only as sick as all your secrets"
I know its sad, I'll post something funny next, I promise.

this is a really really good piece bith one minor..
the penultimate line its says 'you can got back...' instead of 'you can go back...'
Other than that well done, well worth a place on the winners stand.
