Tamara Moir - Abuse Story

She was still a child
Just six years of age
But then a mean, sick man
Came and tore it all away

While sitting alone one day
This mean man walked through the door
The man started his thing
And her innocents was no more

The man was her step-fathers mate
And being so young, she did not understand
So told her mum in joke
Then things got out of hand

The man then went to court
And put away with bail
But within two weeks, her step-dad had
Saved money for him to get out of jail

For 6 years, she was safe
But had those memories to deal with
And from that point on
She always thought “what if? ”

Up until she was 12
She thought she was safe from him
But then he came back over again
And turned the lights to dim

She tried to scream
He taped her mouth
He then went in
Then back out

And so again the torture started
And the poor girl felt like she’d died
He told her if she told anyone, she would
So when he left, she sat in her room and cried

She felt dirty, and sick in the gut
But for two years, her silence she held
But it got too much, she let it out
She got on the balcony and yelled

She screamed and screamed
Until her throat was sore
After she cried, and did the unthinkable
And after, lay crying on the floor

And now she lets her story be known
In the best form for people to see
She is now telling the world with this last verse
She was abused, and is saying it in poetry…
