Why Me...
Why me...
Smiles that's all he had, "here", he said,
"A friend of the family", he also said,
He sat and in his lap he placed me,
He engrossed me and he embraced me,
Just a child, I smiled, kept looking on,
Engulfed by the party scenery, while
His hands sought, scanning, now found,
He touched, he felt, he groped me,
Astonished, manipulation and delicacy now felt,
My equanimity is now disturbed, irritated by his hands,
Now a tormented mind, tears felt falling inside,
Now scoping, hoping someone sees,
Wishing for a grasp, reach me, please take me,
An atrocity, a cruel act, played on me like a movie,
A scene I wish not repeated, a scene I wish deleted,
With an ululation, a shout, a scream, I cried out,
I want equilibrium to this, this pain,
Why me, why me, do I deserve well,
For I was just a child,
Why me, why did you touch me.
