Who's Fault
Its hard,
getting over being stripped of your worth.
Its hard to allow someone
to hold you and let them help you.
After being tied up and used,
again and again and you never whispered a word.
They can tell you over and over its not your fault. Yet you will always
feel as if its.
You didn't stop him.
You let him go free,
who else may he have hurt?
Those girls you could have protected.
But then again,
He makes his own choices.
He chose to hurt you, to use you.
You were twelve,
he was not. You didn't ask for it.
Your uniform was not a silent plea to be used.
So honey,
Its not your fault.
You need to know.
He chose his own actions.
You got scared. Nobody is immune to fear.
Now just pay attention.
It may be hard.but your not broken, you
can be fixed if you take the chance.
Hold my hand,
Ill pull you into the light.
