Do I sting?
Do I frighten you?
Is my truth too painful for you?
What about me then?
Is it right I should stand up
for all this all alone?

You can’t remove my pains.
You can’t undo it.
You didn’t stop him either.
You know what he has done.
Just try and spend a little
time together with me.

I am not poisonous.
I’m not dangerous.
I’m just a little damaged by life.
Can you give a little of
your time together with me?

Abused.
