I'M Just Only A Child. Poem by Zené Lewis

Don't hurt me I'm only 9 - have you forgotten?
What have I done for you to have your way in mommy's house?
This isn't right, so why you doing this to your baby girl.
Now that you have took my pride I hate you with a passion
as i began to cry - BUT please
daddy get off me - I'm just only a child.

At 9 I have experience so much things.
Daddy has his way with me only because he overpowers my body.
Mommy is never home, so she isn't aware of his madness. I tried to give
her a hint but she's just not getting it. I'm just only a child.

Nights in my room resting in fear, daddy swung open my door for his
daily disgusting sex addict abuse. I lay on top of my bed in pain. hoping that
mommy would appear. He whispers in my ear saying 'Baby girl don't tell - one day
all of this will end'

I'm Just Only A Child.
