Should have stayed home
Folder:
crying out
It was so warm and cozy
My toasty little tootsie
Never felt exposed
Then one day the belly fell
I was on my way down
It felt like hell
The squeezing of my head
As I was involuntarily leaving
My nine-month comfy bed
My shoulders were cleaving
I saw light at the end of the tunnel
So as I poured out of the funnel
Into the new haven of life
I felt cold for the first time
Light shocked my eyes
My vocals yelled out cries
For I wanted to go home
I wanted to feel safe again
For the first time I felt pain
My tears fell like rain
Then I heard your sweet voice
That I had been hearing all along
I feel your warm breath
I am now near you
under your breast
Oh yes I feel safe again
As you swaddle me in crest
I feel safe, free from restrain
Your milk of life
Revives me again
I feel no pain
The few years have past
A black shadow cast
From a sinister nast-y
In disguise
He exposed me again
It burned my eyes
Every thing I see now
Has changed
He violated he touched me
He rearranged me
I am only three
He is to me elderly
I saw the banana
he put it in a split
I saw the banana
It hurt more than a bit
He told me not to say it
He told me not to tell
But you know me oh so well
Am I in trouble
What shall I do
Will he still love me
Will he still love you
I don’t feel so safe anymore
I want to go back to that
Exit door
Momma I want to feel safe again
Back to the beginning when
I was in your womb
Was I delivered into a tomb
Then why is he planting doom
Why do I have to see him
Don’t you feel my pain
I dread every weekend
When I have to say his name
I love him but I am scared
I am so confused
Mommy, please help me!
I don’t know what to do
I wet my bed
To relieve my head
Of all this stress
I know you are mad
But can’t you read the dread
The truth in wet threads
Mommy I want to feel safe again
I feel exposed
The belly fell
I am on my way down
It feels like hell
The squeezing for his pleasing
In uncomfortable bed
My shoulders are cleaving
I seek a light at the end
Of this dark tunnel
I trust you
I need you to protect me
I want to feel safe again
shelter me from this black rain
