Forget

I can’t forget that fateful night
Filled with torture and pain,
When my world was slowly shattered
When my soul was bruised and slain.

I can’t forget the loneliness
I felt when I got home,
To find the crushing darkness there
To be left on my own.

I can’t forget the shocking looks
When pregnancy came around,
How I was deemed a ****,
A whore, a floozie about town.

I can’t forget the hurtfulness
While hiding the truth inside,
Trying to keep my family’s hate
From trampling on my pride.

If only I could keep the past
From crowding in on me,
The I could learn to love my life
And make HIM history.
