Silence Dogood - A secret

My first day of school started with laughs and stares.
Giggles and pointing they didnt care.
I clearly was new as if that changed a thing.
Nobody cares what happens to me.

I carried my secret as I have since eight.
Its always with me the night of the rape.
Its brought me more misery then words can tell.
He took my body and led me to hell.

To everyone I was just a kid.
My body on sale to the highest bid.
My hair my clothes my mothers car.
Those they saw but not the scars.

The cuts and bruises mark my past.
The pain and hurt under the mask.
The way I feel is always sad.
No one knows not even dad.

The teachers they wonder but dont do a thing.
As I said no one cares what happens to me.
So my first day of school didnt go very well.
But know could see no one could tell.

I guess the stuff so vivid in my mind.
Are stuff that cant be seen from outside.
You got to look deeper if you wont to know.
The rape the bruises they dont show.

Everything is hidden so no one will see.
What happened to the eight year old me

Silence Dogood
