I said no

It happened anyway

So, I threw up my hands

Because life makes no mistakes

Robbed of an innocence

That I could never get back

A two minute incident

Threw my whole life off track

You see me with him, him, and her

You put labels on my back

You call me a whore

Cutting me no slack

I lost my identity

My soul was taken away

I was left in the streets like a dead animal

To rot and decay

Be careful who you trust

Be leery of where you stay

Don’t be quick to judge a person

You don’t know their mental disarray
