Traumas that does linger for what seems like forever

TITLE: HOW ABOUT I TELL YOU?
These things will fade
How about I tell you, I still feel the pains
You'd grow and forget about it
Now, I'm turning eighteen
How about I tell you, I still have it in my memories.
The scar that continues to linger in my heart,
Is that I had no effrontery to speak up as a child
How about I tell you, I want to go back in time
So I could relive and erase some of my past
Coz, I deserve to be treated right
To whom it may concern,
You had no effrontery to have called me a bastard
How about I tell you, I disliked you ever since that hour
Coz, I'm a child with the right father
And I'm ready to make him proud
I was open to bullies and threats
That if I told my mother I'd be dead
How about I tell you, how I felt
It made me live in my shell for so many years
Coz, I was told not to tell
How about I tell you, I forgave but never forget
The pains and traumas you caused me, still lives in my head
I do remember it while I lay in bed,
The tears you made me shed and the blame I faked upon myself
Coz, I shouldn't tell you subjected me to molest
