Little Girl Lost

she has blisters on the soul of her feet and cuts along her veins oozing pain from the sores that cover her body a lost soul living in the streets digging in dumpsters for food to eat rain pouring down her frail body soaked sneezing and coughing with no chance of hope she struggles to walk in the nighttime air to find a place of warmth the underground railroad ststion seems like the place fighting off rats and roaches bugs and critters predators on the loose she finds a corner to huddle in underneath the 'a" train scared to go to sleeep in fear of beiong raped she already was pregnant and had to terminate a coathanger and a line of cocaine made it all go away a victom of child abuse and an drug addicted family little rhonda had no choice but to run away so many dreams of a life she knows shell never have so she finds ways to end her life without being scared she prays to God to help her but He must be busy her mind is going crazy all she needs is to sleep in the quiet of the night her restless body gives in she begins to grift off asking God to forgive her sins in deep sleep shes unaware of whats taking place a vicious and nasty group of men are violating her in disgrace instead of letting her be they smash her head in two leaving little rhonda to suffer no more all she wanted was to be free away from the world that tortured her she never asked to be born but she did ask to die!

A very poignant and descriptive write Brandy. Giving the girl Rhonda, a name, personalizing her, instead of being just a girl, adds weight and depth to the poem... though I would dearly love to think that this was all just fiction, sadly I doubt it.... perhaps you are the only one who wrote her epitaph....

It's very sad. But I like the poem and I enjoyed reading it. Ernilando

The horrors little Rhonda faced would make anyone lose the will to live, Brandy. I'm hoping this is just an anonymous observation and that it didn't happen to you or someone you know. My heart goes out to this poor child; she never had a chance. So very sad. Love, Carolyn
