Book Cover & Preview Text
My Innocence Innocence, what does that mean? Lacking in experience or knowledge, or being naive Innocence in a child should never be touched, by doing so would leave them feeling unwanted and their feelings crushed I was exposed to sex at a very young age, and was taught how to please a man in two different ways My innocence is something I felt I never had, he touched my "private parts" and it left me feeling sad I questioned "Why me, why me?" This was something that just shouldn't be I knew it was wrong but didn't know who to tell He always told me to be quiet and not to yell When I tried to say "No, this is bad" He told me that if I didn't do it, I was going to get in trouble with my dad "I'll do it, I'll do it" I said, as soon as his genitals were exposed to me I became so very sick He took my innocence away from me And I knew that this inexcusable act would forever be a part of me...

About the Author
P. Wright, who is also known as Trice, was born in December of 1983. She was raised in Prince George's County, MD and is the oldest of four. Trice was for the most part a happy and normal child up until she was molested by a relative around 8 or 9 years of age. She couldn't trust anyone after that, not even her own family. Trice grew up feeling alone, ugly, and unwanted. She contemplated suicide many times until she found the love of GOD. When she turned 14, she gained the strength to say enough and was baptized. Even though the molestation ended, the pain and anguish continued. Trice was hurting so much because, she was afraid and was told not to tell anyone by her molester; however, she was able to confide in her friends and her poetry.
