Inner Woman Volume 2

I wish I knew then, what I know now.

It wasn’t your fault

The words are manna

My fifteenth birthday.

My rape day.

No one cared

No one asked

No one knew

Because I was blamed

It was my shame

It was my secret

It was the hurt treasured

Forever

It wasn’t your fault

Put the onus where it belongs

I wish I knew then, what I know now.

Manna for a soul in desperate pain.
