Our Little Secret
Hush
My fault
Hush
I could have stopped it
Hush
I wanted it
Hush
Nobody will believe me
Hush
He didn’t know it was wrong
Hush
He said he was sorry
Hush
He wouldn’t hurt me on purpose
Hush
He said it was okay
Hush
He said it was normal
Hush
He said that God created sex
Hush
If God created it, it must be okay right?
Hush
I deserved it
Hush
I shouldn’t have dressed that way
Hush
Sex is more important than love and consent
Hush
It must be okay because it felt good
Hush
I am worthless
Hush
I had this coming
Hush
No one will ever truly love me

I’m damaged goods
Hush
I am meant for nothing more than the enjoyment of men
Hush
I’m just a statistic
Hush
I’m just a piece of meat
Hush
I’m just an object
