MY AREA OF PRIVACY

No one told me
I never knew
That part of me
It was private.

Mom wasn't there
Aunt doesn't care
Dad was away
He came to play.

It was upstairs
He smiles and shush
Says "Not a lie,
It's a secret."

He says to lay
He says to lie
It was a play
Should never tell.

So I keep shush
I cry and push
I didn't want it
Just been ambushed.

No one told me
But I now know
Those parts of me
They are private.

Behind was brushed
For more than once
"Didn't mean it."
Didn't really?

A little boy
Little naughty
He slapped it hard
I should get mad?

Front was stared at
It was full wrapped
Then why snicker?
They were wicked.

Now I am strong
Just appearance
I'm so sorry
I still don't know.

I now grew up
Just not enough
Fear's too heavy
To lift it up.

I wish and hope
You walk ahead
Strong and lifted
My future self.

I plea hear this
Don't step a foot
In my area
Of privacy.
