Sold

Sold To be sold by the people Who were supposed to love you To be sold at Just 9 years old For alcohol and laughs To be sold Day after day Why fight? To be sold by people Who were supposed to love you To be sold at Just 10 years old Fear filled eyes Scared of the dark But can’t handle what’s in the light Night after night To be sold by people Who were supposed to protect you To be sold at Just 11 years old Losing any hope of being rescued They are to smart and strong Know what to say and how to act Facts aren’t facts No evidence of abuse or neglect To be sold by someone who Was supposed to protect you the worlds keeps turning But your world is dying The will to live is faint Alone inside Crying to be feee But no one will listen Or choose to s e To be sold by someone who Was supposed to protect you To be sold at Just 12 years old Held down and forced to fight 300 lbs of weight Breathing begins to shake Arms pin down as they watch Laughing and partaking In the water torture All for what To be sold
