TW: reference to rape
____________________________

I didn't
I didn't
I couldn't
I wouldn't
I wasn't
I didn't

Stop them
Stop him
Stand up
Stand in
Speak up
Fight them
Say the truth

I Stood in
   pain and anger and hatred and now it's guilt I face
From a very dark place
Ungiven help
If mine, of mine
To you, to myself, to the people that must've followed
To humanity and ppl he locked away and hurt, just like me

I didn't

Beat back

Speak back

Instead
I kept
   my pain locked deep inside
And hoped I would forget that those bastards were alive

Alive with my skin on their minds
While on my skin I feel how they've gone deep inside
And you
Your innocent skin

I'm sorry for you too
And for my sin
My sin that I didn't
Didn't
