(Warning: heavy topics)
Dark room
Hot
Summer
12 years old
Hiding wounds with long socks
Taken advantage
Drowning in alcohol and smoke
Taken to the room
Coaxed into submission
"It's okay"
Grooming
Created into a willing victim
1 2 3
Forget
Don't think about it
Don't speak of it
Broken for months after
Then
Then...
Pushed it away
Put it to the back of my mind
"You're fine"
"No big deal"
Hurt
And broken
Put me away
Back in my box
Clean me off
And put me on a shelf
Pretend I'm clean
And everything will be okay
