They want me to remember
How would it help
The damage has been done
They could have come sooner
Fools! All of them! Fools!
I’m sure someone alerted them
I don’t want to remember
It hurts to much
I have to though
For revenge
Yes…for revenge
I felt a pull….no…it was the hurried steps of my father
No…it can’t be father
He’s away..he’s away with my mum
I should’ve stayed asleep
Maybe they wouldn’t have heard me,
Heard me call for my father
They had guns
I was so scared…I couldn’t stop trembling
They had junior
I couldn’t remember how to pray
I had to be strong though
For junior
They asked for the money
What money?
We had none!
I am just 10..I tried to make them see reason
I couldn’t talk though
The beating I received
Left me in a trance
Junior kept shouting
“We were the only ones at home
The maid went to get food
They kept on though
They kept beating me”
Then I felt it
The hands on my skirts
Junior kept screaming
He kept trying to push them away
He was to small though
I heard the shot then
And heard Junior’s voice no more
I tried to turn
I had to move
They kept me down..I just couldn’t
Then the pain came
The strength to scream came from no where
I let it out..
I tried to move…to force him off
I just couldn’t
I can’t remember!
I don’t want to!
You can’t make me!
I want Junior
I want my parents!
