innocence's stolen in a blink of an eye,
all because of my mothers lies.
trusting her ended up being deceiving,
all for a hit of crack she lured me into believing, that she was there for me,
but instead she left me to defend myself against six guys you see,
all bigger then me and scary too,
not knowing what was to come, but she knew.
no care in the world if I would live or die,
they tortured me, while I pleaded for them to stop, all I could do was cry,
so I prayed to the lord to unleash me from their sword,
I felt so dumb,
it lasted forever and now all I feel is numb,
I wonder if I wasn't pretty if it would have ever happened,
I don't think so,
so ugly must be what I'm lacking
no use to plead,
power is their greed
life as I know it has a flaw,
and that flaw is me as you saw.
feeling safe is a lie,
hopefully one day heaven will call so my heart can fly.
