Living in Fear..
Chasing, Running, Frightened and Scared!
Try to say 'NO', wouldn't have dared.
Threats made to Silence, making me Block,
Now those memories in my head, tick like a clock!
Scratching, Sweating, Shortness of Air!,
Coughing, Crying, Trapped, I am Bare!
Nothing can block all these feelings out,
Trying to say, but can't even shout!
Tried to tell teachers just what he did,
But they all ignored, closing the lid!
Twenty years later, my life was a mess,
This is my story, I do not jest.
Friends tried to tell me, I needed to talk,
It was all I could do, to stand up and walk!
But I listened carefully, took on what they said,
Now most nights I can, sleep peacefully in my bed.
The nightmares still come, I still get so fraught,
But I know now that those, are feelings I was taught.
Now in my life, I take back my role,
His threats and his memories, no longer control.
I try to write, my memories down,
As I sit here alone, on my face a frown.
I wonder why, there are people like him,
Who seem to get pleasure, from committing a Sin.
Too many of them, Not much has changed,
Hiding their secrets, across the range!
A worldwide problem, that few seem to fight,
But I will stand tall, with all of my might!
I will speak out, about what they do,
How they hurt little children, like me and you!
I will do anything, to make the world hear,
About little children, living in FEAR!
