Stripped

What made it okay?

What made you think that you had that right?

To strip me of my self-esteem 

Yes we were young

But what thought entered your mind 

When you decided I was all yours?

Something to be messed with?

I didn't know what you had just done to me until now

I didn't realize you had stripped me of my innocence

You took my body and used it

What you must've gone through

And seen

To make it right in your mind

You took my sense of security 

And for that you will never be forgiven

I passed you in that stadium today

And that hatred grew

And the memories of our childhood

Playing family

Revived themselves 

The weight became unbearable 

I saw it all happen viviidly

Over and over again

Constantly replaying

The memories of the moment I was stripped
