Shock

Listening to the sound of traffic in distance the little girl Hanna laid awake in her bed
She was very scared and could not sleep, thoughts running wild in her head

Hanna was laying motionless, her pain was so raw, her hurt so deep
She felt numb, totally alone and started to weep

She could never tell anyone what happened to her, no one was to know
Her small body was frozen with fear, she felt so dirty, so shamed and so low

What was she going to do she thought in panic, in terrifying fear 
It is going to happen again and again, she can not make this horror disappear
