I’m Too Little For Grown-Up Games

Grandaddy please don't

I wrote this piece when I was very young and I was not going to publish it. I wrote this to help me deal with things and I have fully dealt with what happened to me. I was even able to voice my pain to my Grandfather and forgive him, before he passed away.

I have decided to publish this after all because I want people to be more aware that sexual predators can be hiding in plain sight anywhere. I also want young girls and boys to know they are not alone. There are people who will believe them but I also understand if they cannot find the voice to speak out. One day they will!

Oh no, please do not do that again Grandaddy, not like you did before, You said it would be a funny game But I do not want to play anymore.

Grandaddy, you said this was our secret You said Daddy would no longer love me, I promised to always be a good little girl As you said no one would ever believe.

Grandaddy, I cannot grow up just for you That’s not how life is meant to be, Please do not hold and touch me anymore No Grandaddy, you are frightening me.

Long after you are gone Grandaddy I can still feel every inch of your touch, I still hear every word you whispered And cry because it hurts so much.

I tried to tell Daddy I don’t love you anymore But he refuses to listen or even understand, I shake in fear when he makes me wait for you And beg him not to make me hold your hand.

Other little girls don’t have a Granddad like you I often dream and wish I was them, or rather, I wish the Universe would step in to save me As I do not want you as my Grandfather.
