Oh my You seem to be very quiet now Funny you see Was I you said to be quiet Oh Daddy Where is your smile? Finally I can admire you Lying there carved in red Oh daddy You always dressed me up so pretty In church I was the belle of the Mississippi Buried now, you underestimated this little missy Oh Lordy Have mercy on my little soul The devil inside me had a go He though shall never ever ever touch anyone so Oh mammy You closed your eyes You blocked your ears Never to see your little daughters tears Oh No They want to send me to a crazy place I am normal, tiss the adults a disgrace Let them try and place me in that closed little space Oh no I sit and stare I will get you all Of that you need not dare Don’t close your eyes With my knife I could be here or there

Good for her. It breaks me that any man could do that to a child.

WoW! Arthur, The picture alone gave me a creepy feeling. Your poem and picture go hand and hand. They both are dark and sinister. You captured the feeling of something horrifying real well. A without a doubt seven-Alexis"
