19 years old in Atlanta, GA

I knew it was true,
but how was I to know
that the danger was you?

I trusted in you,
my protector and friend,
until you threw it all away.
You’ll never be that again.

I woke up and your filth,
it was all I could feel.
I could not believe
that the moment was real

I was frozen and frightened
with no idea what to do,
so I laid and did nothing.
I gave in to you.

You had the power,
all I had was fear,
so I simply closed my eyes
and shed a single tear.

In that one fateful moment,
so scary but so true,
my life was turned around.
I was changed because of you.

Now I’m broken and lonely
in this cold and daunting place.
I don’t recognize my own reflection,
and my life is a disgrace.

You will never be forgiven
and this feeling, I won’t forget,
but I’m telling you I’ll rise above,
and you’ll no longer be a threat.

And if it is the last thing
that I ever get to do,
I promise that I’ll make sure
no one else falls victim to you.
