She was so young and without a care
her smile as beautiful as her long brown hair
So many dreams she had envisioned
filled her heart with great ambition
Then one day it all came to an end
this young girl was never seen again
She died one dark and horrible day
her memory is one of deep, dark pain
That day vulnerable and unaware
she didn't understand, she was so scared
"Why are you hurting me?" she cried
they just laughed as she slowly died
No one heard her cries for help
and when she could speak she only whelped
Although in shock and terrible pain
this young girl kept it all in
Years have passed and she was never seen
but sometimes if you are really keen
You can see this girl once again
but she may not be whom you'd expect
You never know but you may be surprised
it could be that she's your wife
Or sister or mother or aunt or dear friend
this list has no end
Although her innocence was taken away
and heartache and shame seemed to take it's place
She still has the strength to fight back for her life
she once was a victim, but never twice
Many girls have been victims of **** and oftentimes it is never reported. They grow up with this secret pain and shame that should never have been put on them... yet they rise another day... refusing to empower those who violated them.... they take back their lives... and win.
