I'm naked now and he takes
off his shirt,
Then his hand moves down to
unbotton his pants.
I'm only 12 years old, but
it's not the first time...
A tear escapes out the corner
of my eye.
He lay's down beside me at
first to stroke my breast,
Which were developing well
by now.
With one leg on top of mine
he held me down;
His penis rest against my
side
And I could feel his pulse
racing faster than mine...
Then it was time.
He rolled over on top of me
and I couldn't breath,
Then the pain came as he inserted
his penis inside me
And I forgot that I couldn't
breath
because it hurt so bad...
In and out...in and out...
The pain only got worse...
In and out...in and out...
It seemed to go on for hours
and hours.
The pain was so bad I thought
I would die,
Then he stopped, rolled over
on the ground next to me
And I lay crying, uncovered
and cold;
As I lay there in shame, it
began to softly rain.
I tried to rise to my feet
to re-dress
but I couldn't move,
My whole body was numb,
But deep inside I could feel
the pain
that would never end.
He stood and re-dressed himself
and then he dressed me.
To sore to walk, he carried
me
and set me upon my horse,
I only screamed and moved
so I was laying across it
But still being able to hold
on.
He must have enjoyed seeing
me in so much pain,
Maybe that's why we rode bare-back
that day.
As we rode nearer the house
I sat up,
Clinched my teeth and prayed
we could get off soon...
But instead he made me ride
to the barn
to help put the horses away.
The pain was so bad that when
I came down on my feet,
I fell to the ground.
He yelled for me to get up
or he'd hit me again...
I was no fool, so I rose to
my feet
and turned to walk away;
Once in a day was enough for
me,
But then I felt the horses
rein fly across my back
and it all started again.
He told me that if I ever told
anyone,
Especially my mother,
I would die.
So I lied, and lied and just
kept lying.
The only way I wanted to die
was by my own hand;
Not his.
Soon, real soon I would find
a way to kill myself
And only he would know why.
There's something about it,
My dad's gentle hand
I never knew.
There's something about it,
My mother's love
I never found.
There's something about it,
INCEST...It can make you feel
alone.
But you are not alone,
There are many others in the
world going through it too...
