NO ONE ELSE
Today I am in the room again
My daddy is doing it again
I begged again and again
But he showed me the gains
My mother is innocently knitting
My brothers in the dining
And I, am hitting
Hitting the bed
This is my story
An adult before being a girl
Raped and reaped by daddy
Mummy always engrossed in her knitting
Daddy says “it is my duty”
To ravage my little body
I must not reveal our little secret
Because the god’s will kill me
Who will believe my story?
Father and daughter, who helps?
Sleepless nights and fearful days
And I call you my father!
I came to this world before my time
Who do I tell it was daddy?
My friends say it is incest
I dare not say I am the victim
Everybody says it is an abomination
My daddy believes it is divination
I want to believe that it is my imagination
I will soon awake to the realization
I want to reveal my little secret
Will you believe me?
Will you save me from my daddy?
I want to escape from my daddy
Speak out little darling, help is near
Keep no such secret
We will follow you all the way
Your healing has come
Daddy in his daughter is a taboo
Come out of incest, God loves you
The apple of His eyes
Why will he then kill you?
Daddy needs the healing process
He is sick, keeping mute will kill him
Help yourself come out clean and refreshed
You are not alone
We are here with you
Help is not far away
Stretch the hand, we are always near
We will grab you and move you upstream.
