You raped me
My father raped me
He took my innocence
He took my pride
But one thing he didn’t take is my life.
Why? Why did you not kill me?
Because you wanted me to be your sex slave?
You wanted me to feel the pain,
The one you felt when my mom passed away.

You used to look at me and smile
Now that’s all gone.
Did my grandparents raise a monster
My mom married a demon

You raped me!
You left me bleeding
You left me hopeless
One thing you did
You left me homeless
No one believed me when I told them you raped me.
I don’t even believe myself that my father raped me

I’m now carrying your child
I’m now carrying my sister
How do I tell this?
How do I look at my baby who happens to be my sister?

I just hope he dies
Am I evil?
Wishing death upon my father
God bless the black child
God bless the rape victims
But dear God I’m taking my life
I served my sentence.
