So many years ago
yet I am unable to let go
You have left a stain on my skin
I cant seem to scrub off
Hard as I try these scars
you left me still bleed
You have bound me to secrecy
through my shame
Taped my mouth shut with fear
Tied my hands and given me
a razor and a reason
So many years ago
yet you still have a sick hold on me
My sanity creeps in and out
I find comfort in the razors edge
as i try to rid myself of
the filth you left on me
so many years ago yet
yet I am unable to let go

I stand and applaud your strength and courage, you really are my hero and an insperation to so many who have faced this horror, your words hit hard and deep and cause my heart to cry for the pain you express so clearly,
