Life

 By Alyce 24-04-09

Life once young, innocent and fun
picturesque scenes thought to never come undone
Soon a girls life was about to change,
she went from playing Lego,
to experiencing torture and rage.

Her cousin said he loved her,
and that’s what lovers do,
He told her she was beautiful…
What was she to do?

Forced not to tell she went out
acting as though nothing had come about,
One young soul only just in school,
battered and bruised, she was left,
feeling so different from the rest

thinking it was in the past, was in vein
because soon her next door neighbour,
Decided to show her more pain
Again told she was beautiful,
what a horrible word that came to be,
it’s now something she never wants to be

Years since then have come now gone,
memories haunt her by night and day
never able to escape her fears,
trust and love are words she doesn’t know,
she pleads for help, but not out loud.
Some one save her, she’s drowning now
