Yesterday

Yesterday

A Poem by Awana Carithers
"

A tragic childhood memory

"
I remember u like yesterday
As if your just a floating nightmare
Standing there on your top porch
Staring as if u really care
Then my little young curiosity got the best of me
And I started to make eye contact
With the worst person that could walk
The streets of the united States
Assumptions gathers
My innocence you toke
Always flexing them biceps cause u know that we would look
You played a good role, shall i say
Was a shoulder to lean on in each and every way
No matter what time of day or night
Your door seem to always be open
and I came running with no problem
A friend I wanted, and it was hard to find them
Did it ever occur to you that I was, really a child
Offered me shelter just to chill for awhile
Or is that what drew you to me in the first place
Couldn't wait to get a feel, Saliva dripping, like you wanna taste
Turned my little a*s out
Had no problems with telling me what to do
Thought I was your one and only
Yet you just was using me until you were through
Told me all of sweet nothings in my little ears
I did more than adults have In my youngest years
I remember like yesterday, Everyday my little young fast naive a*s
Was leaving out of middle school counting down the seconds
You would notice me because I've seen your type
Preyed on the young told us everything that you thought we'll like
But as soon as we graduated and got a year older than
The year before, on to the next one because you knew it was much more
Torn, devastated shall I say
All the nights I've cried begging you to stay
Oh yes, but what about yesterday
Yesterday is gone
That was his favorite line to repeat
Never once did you have the decently
To change them damn sheets
Couldn't look me in my face and tell me that you moved on
When Deep down inside I knew this chemistry between us was beyond wrong
I remember just like yesterday
Oh yes no yes yesterday

I hate to see men abuse young women. Red flags have to be taken seriously. Live and learn.
