It Shouldn'T Hurt To Be a Child

It shouldn't hurt to be a child, You can say that to one who has not been hurt. I was once a prey of a beast I could not chide. He was so mean with a devilish gut. Too bad, I couldn't escape him when I was four. I had no paw, I was just his pawn. How I wish I could scratch and give the rascal a sore. Oh I couldn't, for I was just his helpless pawn. He lured me with a ridiculous mite. He had his way but gave me a warning, after he had had a fill of his lustful fit. I shed no tears but my soul was weeping. There are still many of such beast around. who still steal innocence of a child which is impossible to regain. Shall we watch these devils as their iniquity abound? as they make many like me go through life with loads of pain.

WOW, Modupe, I am so sorry to hear of this. Never is it easy to be a child when no one is there to protect you from the beast... I do hope you are healing now... Love LINDA
