I wanted to go to my friend's to play



I wanted to go to my friend's to play,
On my way
Someone called my name
and to a stop I came,
I came across a man
And it seemed that he had a plan.
Lil 6 year old me didn't know a thing.
Then he unzipped he's string.

My mom called
And I was thralled
12 years later
When my memory came straighter

He arrives
And I realised
I got my memory back
That I almost was attack
By a man
I also called a dad

I'm 18
I told my mother
As she hold
My heart was cold
I still have scars
And my heart is full of tears

I don't want anyone getting hurt the way I did.
_Christelle Stella Buys
