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
                                    I went with him
                    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
                                    he took a knife
                                    he said you must be
                                    quiet till I finish
                                    what I want
                                    I remember getting out
                                    he hit me all the way
                                    he just ran from that house
                                    I got pregnant
                                    I was no longer living
                                    just surviving

                                    I remember
                                    when I delivered my son
                                    I was attacked
                                    by depression
                                    but a good friend
                                    gave me advice
                                    She helped me
