This one for a girl abandoned circumscribe contemptuous of fellows don’t blame her for misfortunes rebellious for sad fate not related to own choice grew up lost & astray with mishaps believed in good of humanity by some sad repercussion violated blamed too young too dumb too naive don’t condemn her for exploitation as she was a victim a silent victim hopeless & muted condone her as not her choice being abandoned broken assaulted dumped & abused violence unacceptable & should never be tolerated silent victims must speak up to eradicate culture of abuse & violence to overcome trauma of domestic violence and system’s injustice Written: April 09, 2023 A Brian Strand Premiere No 1207 Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Brian Strand NOTE::THIS IS AN OPEN(organic) FORM VERSE using spaces&breaks without grammatical symbols ,the ' open' relies upon 'the one breath limitation' (intuitive cadence)& so inherently requires the 'reader' (reciter) to input and responds thus making this enigmatic form a two way interplay & interpretatIon unique to the moment& changing according to mood is inherently variable.

So many girls go through silent pain. When they are violated and abused by forces outside their control, they are cruelly blamed and victimized. Society should look upon them with compassion and sympathy. A great entry with a beautiful message.
