At the Age of Twelve

AT THE AGE OF FIVE

Her life changed
Her body changed
Mind you she had something inside
Inside her womb
Raped by her dad
So sad.
He said,
"If you say any word
You will be hurt bad
Even end up dead."
Argh!
Father's cruelty
Correct me if this isn't reality
At the age of Twelve her future changed
She had to take care of her little one
Put inside her by someone
Not just anyone
But by her flash and blood
When this all was happening she was defenceless
She had no strength
She tried to scream but was threatened by death
She cried
This would have not happened if her mother had not died
Because of her father
She was already a mother
AT THE AGE OF TWELVE
