They said it in whispers
I was good for nothing
Nobody would ever want me
Certainly nobody would fall in love
I was cursed
By a woman that wouldn’t even take me home
At the time of my birth.
They told me to never speak to anyone
Because everyone would know it was my fault
That I had asked for it
So it was best to keep my little mouth shut.
They told me I was alone
Would always be
Alone
Because ‘girls like you’
Don’t deserve to be loved.
They told me I was filthy
A bastard
Unwanted
Unclean
Unworthy.
Cries were heard in the skies at night
Wishing one day this pain would stop.
Hurting more than just my regret
To frightened to tell the cop.
For years I screamed for someone to die
Any one of those stupid assholes.
Those screams went unheard, of course
Until Hades took their souls.
Vices, I had many
Nobody approved of them.
Wind dances past an angry heart
And this lady is a gem.
They told me I was alone
Which made me cry every night.
Then I met some ladies with the same struggles
And we’ve promised to put up a fight.
