She Was Just a Little Girl

She was just a little girl
11 years old
You were supposed to be her Daddy
Protecting her from harm

She was just a little girl
Innocent and happy
Until you took that away
Taking advantage of her

She was just a little girl
When you touched her
In places a child
Should never be touched

She was still a little girl
But not for too much longer
The story doesn't end here
But continues for several more years

She was a little older now
13 years alive
And still you continued
She was scared and afraid

She was older
But what would you do
If she decided to refuse?
Hit her? Beat her?

She was afraid of you
Afraid to make you mad
Afraid you would beat her
How could you do that?

She figured out over time
What you had been doing
To her all these years
They call it sexual assault

She could have stopped it
If she had only known
If she had only told someone
Maybe she wouldn't feel this guilt

She tells herself
That it wasnt her fault
But it doesnt take away the guilt
And the unhappiness you caused

She was a little girl
Innocent and happy
Now she's older
Feeling unclean and betrayed

I was just a little girl
When you did this to me
Now I'm older and having to deal
While you feel no remorse

I know its not my fault
But I still feel the guilt
And the fear comes in waves
But I will be okay
