It's 2009
And I'm still 14 and I'm crying
Not really sure where I am
But I'm holding the hands of my best friend, Sam
And the waiting room of a planned Parenthood
The walls are sterile and green
And the air is not fresh
And the lights were so bright they could burn a whole in the scheme of my jeans
And my phone is buzzing in my pocket
My mom was asking me if I remembered my keys
Because she's closing the door and she needs to lock it
But I can't tell my mom where I've gone
I can't tell anyone at all
You see... My best friend Sam was raped by a guy we knew because he worked in the afterschool program and he held her down with her textbook beside her and he covered her mouth and he came inside her.
And now I'm with Sam
In a place where we planned
And waiting for the medical exam
And she's praying she doesn't need an abortion
She couldn't afford it
And because her parents would "totally kill her"
It's 2002
And family just moved and the only people I knew
Were my mom's friend sue
And her son
He said he'll teach me how to play the guitar
If I... Just keep quiet
And the staircase beside
Apartment 25
Will haunt me in my sleep as long as I am alive
And I'm too young to know
Why it aches in my thighs
But I had to lie
It's 2012 and I'm dating a guy
And I sleep in his bed and I learned how to drive
And he's older than me
And he drinks whisky
And he pays for everything
His adult thing, it's not cheap
We've been fighting a lot
At least 10 times a week
And he wants to have sex
And I just wanna sleep
But he says I can't say NO to him
This much I owe to him
He buys my dinner
So I have to blow him
He's taken to forcing me down to my knees
And I'm confused because he's hurting me
While he says "please"
And I thought he's a man
And these things, he just needs
If he's my boyfriend
Why am I filled with unease
It's 2017
Until a man that I trust
Gets his hands in my pants
I don't want non of that
I just want to dance
But I wake up next morning
Like I'm in a trance
And there's BLOOD
Is that my blood?
It's 2018
And I have realized
No body is safe
As long as man's alive
And there are many girls
That have stories like mine
But the world tells us
We should take it as a compliment
