Skeleton In The Closet
The secret unravels in my head
Time to reveal it before I'm dead.
A thousand deaths I have died before
To revisit the gateway to hell once more.
Unspoken word of incest and rape
Sickens my heart with disgust and rage.
Time to tell you what I feel
No longer a secret, my soul can heal.
"Hush! Hush! don't breathe a word
This is our secret, daddy's little girl.
If you tell mother, she'll take you away
Can't bear losing you this way."
Pain and scars, infliction upon me
Forever etched in my darkest memory.
God gave me the courage to say it all
Skeleton in my closet no longer allowed.
Too long the silence, know my pain
Set me free to live again.
You need to be held accountable for your actions
Justice for me, to myself, satisfaction.
Dedicated to the victims of incest and rape.
