Let's Get Lost

She was a 10 years old When her life was sold He hurt her in ways unimaginable He may have not have been her father But he was her brothers He told the 10 year old to get in the bed Or something would happen to her 1 month brother The bed was cold The springs were rusted Her heart was always filled with love and care But after that night She wouldn't dare share The 10 year old went to school the next day Without anything to say Her friends found out And shunned her out She told an The police were called She was taken from her mother Who at that time wouldn't believe her She stayed at a family members house A couple days went by Then she was returned home The bad guy was found She still has nightmares to this day And she has this to say: "I'm sorry for doing what I knew was wrong All I wanted was for my brother to be safe." This is a true story, It's MY story. I hope that all you readers unerstand that I still blame myself for what happened that night. I DON'T want your sympathy, I just need friends who actually care. Thank You For Reading Let's Get Lost. . . . . .

The person that did those horrible things is wrong. It is good that you are writing about it. I hope that you have someone to talk about this with. It won't be easy but in time you will heal. You helped keep your brother safe. Try to remember that when you start feeling guilty. When he is old enough to understand what happened he will be grateful to you. Pray for direction and for people you can trust to help you learn to deal with these feelings. How's Justin doing? Keep writing. Love Robin

Takes a lot of courage to write about something so personal, it's a very deep poem. I'm sure you've touched a lot of lives, and there are a lot of lives left to be touched =). You said in your poem you want friends who care, so looke me up if you ever want someone to talk to :D. Take care!

i dont blame you. we have some bad people. but when God puts us to the test it's with fire. and when God gives us a job we have to do it. maybe that's why . i'm out of time john

"Hello Again Precious Alexandria!"~I accidently erased my earlier comment unto yourself dear young lady~But as I said, never blame yourself for others evil ways! Yet, rise above these things, and turn their darkness' into your own light for others to be blessed with, as the days of your precious life unfold!~Keep your eyes on the bright~Surround yourself with the light~And 'never' look back! And, "Have A Very Beautiful Day Dear young Lady~Love To You & All Your Loves, Always, John!"~Bye:)

you should not blame yourself for things like that. what happened to you was terrible but you are still here. i will not pretend i understand your pain or your anger. but i would ask that you do not dwell on the past but be strong for a better today. you can dwell forever but that is no way to live. it destroys you. take it from one who knows as my dwelling is destroying me...trust me you dont want that. soon your chance to start over will come. and that to me sounds like just what you need now

same wrong decisions over and over. Even when you feel like your sanity has been restored your subconcious will not let it go. Your writings are very dark and some people just enjoy it but maybe you're stuck in it. You have decisions to make. Its a hard choice because the pain can become all to real again that's one reason I suggest counseling so you will not feel alone. But to stay thinking you are all better just because it is in the past is wrong. Fight for healing Alexz, you're tough
