An untold story of sexual abuse

An untold story

From the heart of someone who knows what it is like to feel the pain of sexual abuse

The following is a song written by a young woman who was sexually abused as a child.  I have sought her permission to release this song to the forum so that others can share her experiences and understand her pain through the words of her music.  The young woman in question uses her music, journaling and art work to release the emotional and spiritual pain that she experiences on a daily basis.

VERSE 1

This is a melody that is deep inside my heart

It goes to a story that has filled my life with pain

It is about a young girl whose life was filled with pain

The one person she loved most abused her

Day after day

She felt alone with no one to comfort her

She would cry silent tears

CHORUS

Silent teras of the pain deep within

Daddy would always say baby I love you

He only filled her life with pain

Day after day the abuse came without fail

Each day would be the same

Is this what you call love

Is it, is it?

Is this what you call love

VERSE 2

Each night she would lie awake

Thinking of what life would be like

If she gave it up

She wanted the pain inside to stop

The pain couldn’t control her life anymore

She was too afraid to ask for help

Felt too ashamed of what her father had done

She was falling apart.

BRIDGE

After 3 years I finally found the broken part of melody

And I knew someone would believe me

Now thanks to them the melody from deep within

Is now almost complete

Because they believe my story

That had filled me with pain

I felt so alone until they came along

I have been given another chance to move on

VERSE 3

I would hold it all inside

Let the pain build up to the point

I wanted to let go

I would cry silent tears

So no one would ask what was wrong

I was afraid to ask for help

So I tried to get by on my own

CHORUS

Silent teras of the pain deep within

Daddy would always say baby I love you

He only filled her life with pain

Day after day the abuse came without fail

Each day would be the same

Is this what you call love

Is it, is it?

Is this what you call love

 Thank you to this young woman who bravely put up her hand to share her story through her gift of music.
