I'Ll Pretend I'M Sleeping

I used to have to do that thing you know Children should be seen and not heard Know your place your still young Dont you say a word Couldn't understand any of this Yet it became a default of mine So when danger came wandering I did not know what to say except Im fine So scared to speak to anyone Too busy you always say Was that man supposed to touch me Didn't seem quite right that day Yet everyone around me Doesnt see my plight So I pretend it hasn't happened And when you appear next time Ill pretend I'm sleeping And hope you pass on by Dear Grandad I hope this hurts As in your grave you rot For stealing my childhood For the me time lost- to the me you forgot Yet I blame them aswell as you They always knew you were bad So when I lay blame at your door I get so very emotional and sad As everyone of them forgot me Thought I was ok Just because I faked a smile Went out pretending to play Then I forgot what you did Till I was of age Now I have to write it down As its too painful to say So if you hear your children Dont repeat that saying of old Its wrong and its not valuable To make your child feel so very cold
