It's like I'm a vulnerable teenager again
Finger pointing at me
Feeling completely exposed
Vulnerable
Not knowing where to turn
The one i want to turn to,
The one that is making me want to run
Is always the one running
Ever since i was a kid
It was always something
Some reason,
Something bad and dark haunting her
It's carried over to me
This constant façade of victim
The one left behind
The truth is you were never there
I remeber having to be the adult in situations,
Seeking solitude any any other guy that seemed fit to do so at the time
Needing someone to confide in
Someone to see me, to hear me
Red hair,
Laughs lots of laughs
You're stumbling through the door,
He's in my face
Asking what i'm going to do
You just dropped your 30 rack, laughing
As some man laid on top of your daughter,
Your daughter who was a kid
Vulnerable
Weak
Everything you wanted
But i fought back
My friend fought back
Get off of her
You were in the corner laughing,
The budlights pouring out of the carboard box
This image will never leave my mind
It's not him that won't,
It's you
Laughing while some man is on top of your daughter
Taunting her
It's the image of you allowing a registered sex offender to look out for your kids
To be around your kids
To pick your kids up
Late night,
Sitting in a small truck
Pulls off to the side of the road
Offering me some weed
I knew it was ad
I felt the un ease
& yet i had to agree to get back home
I told him no
Bring me home
And he did
Didn't touch
Doesn't mean it doesn't haunt
Age 13 i'm searching registered sex offenders
To poiint out to my mother
As if she didn't know
As is if she cared
She didn't
And she still doesn't
So quick to make you seem bad
To seem unfit
For love, respect
It's all you
She lost her very life because of you
Her husband,
Her house,
Her relationship and last chance with her dad
It is all you
But it's not
She's more lost
Than should would ever declare you to be
You know
The real me
You're not a victim
You're not a survivor
You're the one who is getting away
Even as an adult,
It's all right there
Constantly in fight or flight mode
Just wanting it to end
Yet she keeps going
Trying to convince those around you,
But you of her despair
The one who causes pain
Who made her make her choices
It was herself or no one right?
Including her own daughter
Anyone to blame for where she is at
For what has happened
For what has played out
That's all she does is play victim
Well,
I am not a victim
Of my mother
Of my father
Of my siblings,
Of justin
I am me
I am bright
I am smart
I am genuine
I am strong
No one can take that from me
Because i here
I am not a victim
I am not a survivor
I am me
