I remember one day
                                                                                                                         I was young
                                                                                                                         I met a boy
                                                                                                                         he called me over
                                                                                                                         I went close to him
                                                                                                                         His eyes were so bright
                                                                                                                         he told me
                                                                                                                         Come with me
                                                                                                                         I will make you proud
                                                                                                                         of everything

                                                                                                                         I remember

                                                                                                         Penny Kerubo    into his house
                                                                                                     I REMEMBER          and he told me to wait
                                                                                                                         in his bed

                                                                                                                         he came back
                                                                                                                         started raping me
                                                                                                                         oh, I screamed
