From Innocence to Chains
Little hands once held promise
Now clenched in defiant fists
A childhood lost to darkness
Abuse and pain, forever etched
School halls turned to prison walls
Rebellion fueled by hidden pain
Acting out, a desperate call
For love, for help, in vain
Teen years marked by struggle
Anger, hurt, and shame
No guidance, no gentle hand
To heal the hidden scars
Now shackled, lost, and cold
A life forever changed
From innocence to chains
A childhood's fleeting range
