The Day I Became A
Waking up I knew it was time
So excited I jump out of bed
My mom left me breakfast
My dress is set on my bed
Almost time to get dressed
First the salon
Getting my eyebrows done
Walking down the street
Headphones on loud
Then it goes dark
I'm being carried, but feel
paralyzed
They set me down
Tie my arms
He's talking to me I can't
understand
His voice makes me shiver
He sits up next to me
I feel the gun to my head
he kisses my cheek
Then sits across from me
Takes off the mask
Then I feel my legs loose
I kick him and open the door
He never took me
I'm exactly where I'm
supposed to be
But why would he scare me
