SEE IT IN HER EYES

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

Notes

Many girls have been victims of rape 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.
