Took my innocence at 15
And left me in the bathroom to bleed
It was dark
No way I could leave
He was like a brother
A father, figure
A trusted leader
Behind closed doors a rapist
Enjoys hurting others, a sadist
Poetry is my life
Keabetswe is my wife
That describes me in two lines
I am nothing
I feel nothing
Empty inside, there is nothing.
No trust between me and momma
No love lost between me and poppa
We're all disconnected
No one interested
In the real me
All you see is "Vee"
I AM NTHABISENG.
Listen and let me say
Let me tell you
Why I'm lonely.
This is my story.
