Despair

Despair in life is very wrong 
As I know happiness knocks at the door 
But here is a girl whose windows are closed 
And force her to live in a room 
Where she has been raped and tortured 
Since she left her house 
Holding the hand of her boy friend 
Under the promise that she would be married to him 
Whom she had loved so much so long 
And who in return 
Showed her a dream to lead a happy life 
But secretly her boy friend sold her to a pimp 
After using her several times 
This is not a new story nor is a unique one 
Thousands have the same story with same fate 
Writhing in despair in this big brothel 
Every day they go to sleep 
And hope 
Someone will come to rescue them 
Sharp in the morning 
But at dawn she meets with a flesh eating client
Again she is raped and tortured after refusing upon 
A cloud of gloom bursts into rain 
The tears drench her from top to bottom 
And she goes to think in despair 
Drought is better than this 
And the best thing in her life would have been
In this filthy world if she was never born.
