He forced my legs open, I had bruises to show,
Both thighs were sore, I was only five years old.
He threatened me, little me, afraid to die,
He confused me, a friend turned predator, I couldn't deny.
I kept quiet, the truth locked deep inside,
A secret held for years, until a teacher's guide.
A safe space to share, a listening ear,
Helped me unfold the truth, and banish the fear.
