You say I'm pretty and wonder why I flinch
If I told you would you leave?
He said it as he entered inch by inch
I know it's hard to believe
But yes. . . I was molested
Not by some perverted stranger
though he never was arrested
my father was the molester
you ask me why sometimes I cry
for absolutly no apparent reason
Why sometimes I want to die
No. . . it's not the season
It is just another day to me
Not a reason to rejoice
Another day for me to be
frightened by his memory
I don't want sympathy
just an understanding friend
I'm just trying to be happy
to the bitter end
