I’m very sorry, mom
I have been going
through a lot
Do you remember my uncle?
The one and only uncle “socks”?
You used to leave me
with him, and everything would be fine
I was too young
but in his eyes,
I was a proper woman
Oh, mom, let me tell you
He threatened to kill me
and turn my body into ashes.
I was so scared to tell you,
Uncle socks raped me.
He took my virginity
with no dignity.
I’m so sorry for telling you late.
He threatened to kill me
Uncle socks is a monster
Even though he says
he is a ‘ hustler.’
He used to bribe me
with his money
He turned me into a sex slave
I’m very sorry, mom.
