They took my innocence, my trust for those who offer to teach me knew things
They took my link to my culture and my cultural heritage
They took my enjoyment of sex
They took my right of who to lose my virginity to
They took my ability to have normal relationships
They took my ability to form friendships
They took my ability to accept love
They took my happiness and replaced it with neverending grief and pain
They took my happy memories
They took my ability to cry
They took my grateful mornings
They took my afternoons
They’ve taken over my nights and my dreams
My appetite, my joy , my relaxation
Every waking moment
They’ve taken it and I don’t know how to get it back
