Pregnant and hiding under the bed
She couldn't tell
She didn't know how to say
Her favorite Uncle picked
Her up from school and spent
The afternoon showering her with attention
Her Uncle listened
She would talk about awkward
Feelings around kids her own age
Especially boys
So she's hiding from her beloved Uncle
Who showed her things and convinced
Her their time together was special
It was special to her
She didn't want to lose her Uncle
And she knew if she told, they would take him away
No one had noticed her body changing
When she started to show
Everyone wanted to know
Who was the nasty little boy
That took her virginity
Was he in her class?
When she wouldn't tell
The family made plans to send her away
Her loving Uncle threatened the loudest
To find out who did this to his niece
And kill him.
She loved her Uncle
So she took her secret and went
To live with Grandma
It did not take long for Grandma
To realize, someone close had taken advantage
Of her eagerness to please, to be loved
Grandma recognized
Grandma named the father,
The Uncle
Generations weep
