Childs Hell

My small pristine flower, crushed while yet a bud. My young innocence stripped, left trampled in mud. Walk away. Collect your cash, no emotion for me. Little body bruised, torn with blood. Drugged blind, you do not see. Daddy, why did you do it and why don’t you care? You helped them shred me, then turned away and left me bare. I am only a small child. I am too weak to fight back. Tied to a dens table, men’s eyes, hands grope, and lips smack. Manhood against young maiden, tiny body burned by the rope. This, a grand hellish party with drink and much dope. Why do you abuse me, and just what have I done? You began this cruel nightmare when I was but one. Four years spread like thin butter, passed like a hat. Left to fend for myself, a small, hungry, dirty stray cat. For the rest of my life, I am damaged because of your sin. Thirty one now, still, life is a night terror in which there are men!
