Not your fault

I know it hurts,

The mocks, the taunts, the insults.

Nobody understands you're hurting,

They don't know the amount of guilt you have.


But it was not your fault,

Please do trust me.

It was the fault of the person who did it,

It wasn't your fault, honey.


They are the one who should be sorry,

They are the ones who should be crying in regret of their actions,

Not you, honey.

It wasn't your fault.


Open up, they say. Forget about it.

Its just a phase, you'll get through it.

Oh but there's no escape from the guilt that you have, your fault, your fault,

No, it wasn't your fault.


Be strong, not silent,

Fight for your rights,

Fight for what's right, 

Because it wasn't your fault.


Not your fault, dear. It wasn't your fault...
