Girl X

Didn't get to build her castle in the sand Her innocence was taken by a sick man Who preyed upon her as she descended The stairway, Her life hasn't been anywhere near the same since that horrid day, He lured her into his apartment and Violated her to no end And then... He carried her body back into the stairwell... And he stayed in that torturous den Of an apartment with his girlfriend and played Pretend... While this baby lie in a stairwell Covered in graffitti and roach spray, And unconscious and couldn't say, Who did that to her... We can't take yesterday back But we can make up for the slack With tomorrow... Parents, please let Girl X's story Be not in vain and just sorrow... For every young child you see Walking alone and not accompanied Stop and speak to them and get Their full name and tell them to Hurry to their destination, You could be saving a life All it takes is just a small amount Of determination...
