bloody river
I was rapped at the age of 4
Instead of playing hide and seek with my friends, i was bleeding between my legs
Bleeding from my eyes and even my nose
I was constantly bleeding
Bleeding became my favorite hobby
As I became a teenager
The blood continues to flow
So I bleed continuously like an endless river
Now as a young adult
the blood comes down from my eyes at night
My dreams televises my rape movie every at night to assure me I was born to bleed
I am nothing but a child of rape
I have no hope
I fear waking up
I fear going to sleep
I fear life
So I ask to bleed instead
