let me be a child

Suicide note

I woke up in a place where I could no longer see myself as a woman

I could no longer see my worth

He took everything in me

I woke up in a place where being called names is normal

Where being raped is my fault

I woke up

I could no longer feel

I could no longer hear the sound of peace

No longer smell the smell of beauty

I could only taste the sweat and the filth

The dirt and the blood

I woke up in aplace where my father is the father of his grandchildren

I woke up in a place where I couldn’t run away

From being daddy’s little girl to daddy’s wife and mother of his children

I’m no longer safe

I’m no longer sane

I am an imitation of what I was

I am no longer a virgin

Let me dream big, bigger

Bigger than I am

Let me be happy

Let me fighter me experience the joys of life

Let me be a child

Let me be free

Let me be a child

(2013)

She tried to tell them what happened but nobody believed her so she thought ending her life would finally free her and maybe make them see the pain she has been forced to leave with
