What Did I Do

What Did I Do? I trusted you both, but not anymore you left me behind that big black chained door This place is so different, I don’t understand why do they all stare, one came over to hold my hand What did I do? What did I do? I promise to listen, be good, say thank you! My first day was scary. Lot’s to learn, chores to do you see I’m so little, please help me get through Why do they whisper, I don’t understand that language they’re speaking, I will learn as quick as I can What did I do? What did I do? I’ll ask again I miss you Mommy, who is this man? I promise to fight him run far if I can the problem is, I don’t even know where I am. My secret friend listens who I made up in my head she’s imaginary, helps me stop crying says keep still, play dead. What did I do? What did I do? I’ll ask once again. You keep hurting me over and over again. The words that they forced me to learn was only don’t tell please don’t hurt my sister, she was left here as well two years have passed, I’ve learned how to speak. That language so foreign, just listen, you hear me? I mustered the courage to find a way out I just turned 7, I’ll surely find help a letter was written, secretly sent out please come and get me, help help help! My uncle has found me so skinny and frail I clinge to him tightly, those men should go to jail the story I told I knew who was the one convinced my mommy, made her run she too was abused, I helped her get out today we’re much happier, that is no doubt I found my prince, a hero for sure who showed me true love makes me feel oh so pure I had my own children kept them secure I broke the cycle of that I am sure
