Pain happens so often 
Death, so easy 
We are so fragile 
We do these things with little remorse 
Little worry 
When we do worry 
We are called ill 
Insane 
Different 
I don’t like these words  
These adjectives 
These problems 
That are so humane 
But so different 
Same  
Different 
Why  
What is this so called diffrence 
Weirdness 
I like myself 
But not my body 
Some say confideince is attractive 
Is that what he saw in me 
That lonely dark night 
NO 
He saw a young innocent girl 
He told himself only once 
I just happened to be that one time 
That one promise 
Now he has a wife and kids 
While I have a broken body 
A cold heart 
Because of HIM 
Next time can you stop yourself 
Can you keep me safe? 
Daddy you said you would never let me get hurt 
You would protect me  
Keep me safe 
But where are you now 
Then? 
All the time you are gone 
Somewhere else 
With someone else 
You loved me 
So why did you push me off 
Now you have a wife and kids 
I just happen to be that wife 
Tell me about that one time 
Did you notice it was me 
Whose innocence you stole 
Or was it some other girl 
Was she 5 or 6 
Small or big 
Blond or brunette 
Mon amie  
You were supposed to be there 
To love me not hurt me 
WHERE WERE YOU 
WHERE ARE YOU? 
HELP ME PLEASE DADDY
