"Ten Different Shades Of Gray"

Ten Different Shades Of Gray, this poem explains my world

Just variations of my sadness, a lonely little girl

My father visits me every night, my hidden Flower has been broken

I've been left alone to suffer, yes, by a love verboten

Daddy's daughter, prepubescent; a kid who must endure

My heart is clean, devoid of guile/Why must I live my life impure?

Yet, I'm treated like the plague, just like a poisoned tumor

Shameful whispers, schoolmates talking...everyone has heard the rumor

I even told my mother "I'm being molested!" she just regarded me with scorn

Ten Different Shades Of Gray...she said I led my father on

Yes, my momma has forsaken me, and won't even say my name

Can't you see I'm just a child; who'll help to ease my pain?

I had no choice, but to kill my father, a tortured soul has been relieved

Stolen Innocence Has No Cure, maybe now thay will believe!

Still, I'm pregnant, haunting nightmares, I can't articulate my gloom...

No doubt my son will be my brother...ill born progeny in my womb

Left alone in his affliction, he will be a bastard twice

Who's his poppa, what's the answer?...conceived through sin and vice

The boy I have will be an outcast, and surely be despised

But, everyone will know the truth, because he'll have my Daddy's eyes

I knew a girl whose life was similar, so respects I have to pay...

Her father touched her, but denied it...Ten Different Shades Of Gray...
