Left For Dead

They thought she was a loser and they laughed at all her pain. They chose to just ignore her when she started to complain. They took her so deep under that she wondered if she'd live. Then she heard a voice inside her say she had so much to give. They did just what they wanted. They could hurt her everyday. They could say she'll never make it but she knew she'd break away. They left her how they liked her as she curled up in a ball. Of course she couldn't stand up, she was so very small. The one thing that they gave her was her faith she had in prayer. That's all she ever needed to begin her life out there. They didn't know the favor they had done for her instead. They made her a survivor when they left her there for dead.
