Nineteen

Ever wondered why nineteen
I think that’s when I realized I’m not clean
I do not know
what makes me really low
My life becomes like the ocean
My mental health is set in motion
Every man has touched
My life now is smutched
Ever wondered why nineteen
Did I inherit that bad gene
My emotions is like the tide
Piece of me already died
Why does it come back now
I thought I already took that bow
Again all that pain
My soul is really taking so much strain
Ever wondered why nineteen
I don’t want to be that queen
Did I really allow Robert
For him it was all a concert
Forceful entry, back and front
It was no more a treasure hunt
Blood and pain
For him it was all a game.
Ever wondered why nineteen
It is mentally unforeseen

Hi Linda 9 was when I had a nervous breakdown and ended up in hospital for 4 and a half months. My past of sexual abuse resurfaced at 19.
