Dirty in My Skin

TW

I still remember how hard I cried that night.
I felt dirty in my own skin.
I tried to tell them. They know what happened.
But they still choose to ignore it.
When I told him what had happened he didn't blame me.
He took care of me.
He understood how much it affected me.
That's how I know I'm not the one to blame.
Why do they like him so much?
I'm your child. You just met this guy
And you already trust him more than you trust me.
"He has money"
"You won't have to work at all"
"You'll have all this stuff"
"Houses, horses, cars, etc"
I don't want all that. I want honest love.
All that man holds for me is lust.
He touched me while you turned a blind eye.
Why did you leave me alone with him?
Why do you act as if everything is ok?
Why do you choose to ignore what happened?
All I want is to be heard.
I don't want to feel dirty anymore.

I can still feel his hands on me.

Take them off.

Please.

Please help me.
