Moments Like These
tako:
its ppl who release, that put the real world on the spot, and not what THEY want us to believe it isI could always tell the day he would come
I could tell when he was tired
I could tell when he was hungry
I could tell when he was being lustful
I could tell when he used people
I could tell when he was drunk
I could tell when he hadn’t showered
I could tell when he was bored
I couldn’t tell what he did with the rest of his life
I couldn’t tell how many times he’s been arrested
I couldn’t tell how many tattoos were on his skin
I couldn’t tell when he had his eyes on me
I couldn’t keep out of his sight
I couldn’t tell him a secret
I couldn’t sleep alone
I couldn’t keep the door locked
I couldn’t keep him out of my room
I couldn’t tell him to get out
I couldn’t wake anyone up
I couldn’t get him from getting in my bed
I couldn’t tell him no
I couldn’t move
I couldn’t get him to stop what he had already started
I couldn’t get him from putting his hand into my pants
I couldn’t kick him in the crotch
I couldn’t breath
I couldn’t scream
I couldn’t move away
I couldn’t stop sweating
I couldn’t fight back the tears
I couldn’t think of a happy place
I couldn’t get away from this place
Its moments like these when girls feel defenseless. In this moment I thought I COULDN’T do anything. On the contrary I could have done everything in my power to have prevented this. I was only 12 and there was no excuse for me to have done something. I’m not too hard on myself,because I always know this happened for a reason. The hardest obstacles we face are the obstacles we will be most proud of having overcome.
