She said, "when we were kids 'the guy' raped me"...response to her statement was a solid blank stare
She said, "I didn't know how to tell you, cause I was consumed by fear
Confusion was the next expression,
leaving both parties lost in question
Silence filled the room..
she could tell that what she said was being ripped apart like her youth from her at home
she continued by explaining how her own mother didn't believe her...
instead she chose to.. ignore, disown and beat her
feeling alone and betrayed by her own family
she fell into herself...
having men sexually raise HER self esteem
lost in the colorless haze
her children, by her, weren't raised
fighting an up hill battle
she pulled herself together, cause those problems SHE had to tackle
so let me bring you to the here and now
and tell you what I said to her some how
"I know on paper your just my half, but in my heart you are my whole
im so sorry, I wish I could have been there to help you through the devils turmoil"
after those words left my lips
those thoughts remained in disbeliefs grips
so through the files I had to look
hoping that what was found showed her words to be read from a book
put the photo's side by side....
silence...
my "niece" has my ears, nose, lips and eyes.....damn
