Troubled Waters
You are about to embark on the story of a child.
What you are about to hear is a story not mild..
So if your constitution is weak, you may turn away now
For this is a chapter of me,
and i want to tell you how..
He was a brutal man, as he swept through my room,
my pulse racing,,. Rape, darkness, and doom.
The plan that he had was forseen in my future,
coming for me this tiny little creature.
He'd already filled the tub up with water,
then tied my hands up, How could he, i was his(step) daughter?
He held my head under till i could no longer breath,
then on the floor,,raped,he'd finally take his leave.
I was alone in the world, there was no one to tell,
as i quietly learned to survive my private hell.
I'm a grown woman now, and yes still a daughter,
but to this day, i still tread troubled waters...
