I was seven when it started
We played Truth or Dare at night
He said, "You're so pretty."
I begged him, "Please don't."
I must move on
He was supposed to love me
Not treat me like his sex slave
My innocence was wasted
My youth was so short
I must move on
The pain ended when I was ten
The memories will remain
Silence was my best friend
Faking was my game
I must move on
Time had passed, I thought I was safe
Again, I found myself scared
He hurt me with his strength
My friend was a fake
I must move on
With a firm hand around my throat
I was his for the taking
I found myself frozen
My life was at stake
I must move on
Why is my world so filled with pain?
Why do things like this happen?
Why do they get to live?
Why can't I forget?
I must move on
I'm twenty now, I still see them
They both murdered my spirit
They stole my life from me
I've been through the worst
I must move on
I am the product of abuse
But I shall keep on living
I'm blessed to be alive
I can't let them win
I must move on
