Facing That Man by Marcia P. Costa

What were you thinking? At a time I should have looked up to you.
I find myself lost. Praying that these nightmares are not true.

What were you thinking? when you took my innocents. How could you continue? As I cried out with resistance.

What were you thinking? Did it make you feel like a man. When you pressed my pressed my body down, and you thought I'd never understand.

What were you thinking? When you told me it was our special game. You told me to be quiet. Did you believe I'd never say a thing?

I'll tell you what I'm thinking. Since you decided to violate me. My pain is put away now, and anger is all you'll see.

I'll tell you what I'm thinking. As I start to get back on my feet. You took my childhood. And as an adult, that will not repeat.

I'll tell you what I'm thinking. It's time that I let go. No longer will you control me. My heart can finally grow.
