Time To Tell

It’s grinding me down, I feel numb with shame
I can see his face but can’t say his name
Why does he make me feel like this?
Scared and angry, something’s amiss

Why did I wait so long to tell?
He’s made me suffer, he’s cast his spell
I hate myself both inside and out
It makes me want to scream and shout

The feeling of loss, grief and shame
I don’t think anything’s ever going to be the same
Why don’t you fight it people say
Go to the police and make him pay

They think it’s easy but I know it’s not
I’m frightened and anxious, my stomach in a knot
Maybe one day I’ll get there and show him I’m strong
I can’t wait for that day to come along
