Wake Up Call

steadily my heart pounded as I received the news
how could it happen to me and even how to you
how can this be a factor all of these years

I turned I fell so many tears
my pillow was soaked and fell to my knees
my mind was not at ease
please please help me
How am I to accept this horrible news

what am I to say how am I to move
the room is spinning and so is the perception
how and why would I be kept in
the dark for so long and not told the truth

now time has knocked
out surfaced Shamu 
a titled wave of how I was tested
news broadcast wasn't shame but how I was molested
