24 Years

Tell me

How will I ever forget these

24 years of isolation

24 years of black?

I will never forget these

24 years of separation

24 years of pain

I will never forget these

24 years of ignorance

24 years of hate

How will I ever forget?

Raped and used with my own blood

You stole my life and dreams

You are my darkest fear

I will never be the same

I will never smile again

You brought the darkness into my life

You taught me how to cry

Cry

Why?

My inner struggle will just end when I

Take my last breath

And I will see you suffer

Until you close your eyes

I'm just an empty shell

I will never forget these

24 years of trepidation

24 years of lies

How will I ever forget

You stole my innocence

And gave me living death

Just an empty shell

I'm just an empty shell

Shell

My inner struggle will just end when I

Take my last breath

And I will see you suffer

Until you close your eyes

I will never be the same

I will never smile again

You brought the darkness into my life

You taught me how to cry

Cry

Why?
