So Young and Alone

a little girl lost and alone in the world
she looks to others to help 
but no one can hear her cry
she searches for some one to heal her scares
but again no one hears her plea
strange men hold her
saying that they will show her the way
and she trust them
but a short time and an exchange of cash later
she is back alone 
a girl used and left to deal with this dangerous lift
if only someone can set her free 
and maybe just save her before she becomes 
the next hollow thirteen year old girl in a world of scum
