Stolen Away
Stolen away
from happy memories
in darkened rooms
chained in fantasy
nowhere to be found
from the public's eye
loss of innocence
taken away
from controlling strangers
used and abused
over and over again
distant cries no one hears
screams of hurt and pain
beaten down inside into submission
by sinister want and desired need
from warped and twisted minds
sexual predators hunting for prey
playing with vulnerability
seeking pleasure in gratifying themselves
without guilt or remorse of circumstance
children a prisoner for years to come
beyond the haunting nightmares
from fugitives on the run
