Sometimes i wonder what will become of her
that scared little girl
it's as if the thought of loosing her paralyzes me
yet to get rid of her will be to get rid of my insecurities
my childhood haunts me with a vengeance
as if to say off with her head
to speak the words
would be to incriminate another
potentially leaving me dead
because our secret
would never be understood
and with the eyes of a child
i said that i would
keep sealed lips
leave those words unspoken
but 7 years later
my mental state has taken a token
paranoia my friend
despair my lover
can i ever trust another with my unborn child?
because being left in the care of a man
created my turmoil
but i smile because i see better days
and the turmoil that i face
proves to be beatable
because to remain a victim
holding on to her
he has won
it is just that simple
