By Jade Chance, Virginia State University
I can’t remember
To this day
Who he was,
Why he touched me
Why he abused me
All I know is
I wasn’t happy
I was scared
I thought he loved me
The way he hugged me
Everything seemed okay
But he’d get angry
When things didn’t go his way
All I can remember is being
Adored then,
Confused
Little did I know
It was abuse
It was too late
So, what could I say
My story wouldn’t add up
Because I can’t remember his face
To this day.
