Something Happened
It was never my attention
To be a victim
It was never my attention
To walked on the street all alone
It was never my attention
If only you hear me out.
Mama told me never walk all alone
Mama told me never to make mention of men
Mama told me many things
But mama never told me she was rape
Mama never told me the story
Even when I tried bringing it up
But today
Here I am
Being a victim of rape like my mama
