A family Ashamed
None of my family
Wants to help me
With my assault on child abuse
Apparently they simply refuse
They could careless
About my torturous past
They’d rather run
And do it fast
I’m not the one that
Caused my life of shame
But I promise you
I get all the blame
They’ve never experienced
Years of heart break like me
Are they really
Just too blind to see
I’m treated like I’m
The perpetrator not the victim
May God have mercy on
Their souls and always be with them
