My Trauma
The lines, they stay
The roles, unchanged
Screaming, in fear
The demon is here
The act, committed
The trauma, I’ve admitted
The damage is done
The demon has won
The rape is done
The post trauma is yet to come
My story, untold
The world needs to know
The battle is constant
The aftermath, unwanted
The day will come
The demon, I confront
Your grasp, released
I remain out of reach
Demon, look at me
I’m finally free
The trauma, it stays
I’ve overcome the pain
You won’t haunt me
The ghost I no longer see
Watching, you will
But I evade you still
When we again will meet
But not as the niece you’ll greet
The victim you’ve made of me
The witness I’ve become to be
The monster of my dreams
You gave me low self esteem
I’ll look at you and say
I still remember that day
Will you still see me the same?
The niece you once betrayed
