To my Father

When I was two my dad starting raping me. My mother left him when I was six and I am 16 and ready to know why it happened.
I am two and you come into my room
What have I done wrong?
It happens every night, I’m so afraid of you
How do I live, you were suppose to be my father
And walk me down the aisle on my wedding day
But I think if I ever saw you
I'd have you hauled away
You made me a sex slave to you
I couldn't get away, and when mom left
I didn't want to talk, so I stopped saying everything
No I am labeled mentally ill
It’s all your fault, you’re the one to blame
I suffered through your hell
And no I am going insane
Ever wonder how I am
Well I’ll tell you I’m ok
Cause I don't have to see you
Now I don't have to worry cause your far away
And maybe one day I will want to talk to you
But now is not the time
I want a normal life and I can't have that with you
I am not ready to face that pain
But I’m coming close to
And by the time I am twenty
I will be ready, it’s coming sooner then I thought
And now it is time to face you and
Face all my fears.
