That Girl, Eve

A small place in England a city rife with crime full of the homeless the jobless lives a small defenseless girl who was once a happy child transforming into an angry woman Eve was a small girl missunderstood Life was hard on the estate Father and Mother deceased when she was three She came home But for what? Empitiness Twelve years on Eve sobs as noone is there to answer the questions anger has built itself up Why me? she often asks herself questions fuel the rage till one day it becomes too much The tragic day came after her fifteenth birthday life was the death of her the poor girl with glazed eyes who watched other children at the park with their parents couldnt handle it anymore The local papers portrayed the whole event as if they cared if they had cared sooner this girl, Eve would be happy enjoying her life like the other girls her age but they didn't and still nothing has changed

Wow! What a sad situation. Too many kids don't have the chance at childhood. Society has a long way to go in the protection on kids. Thought provoking poem. Karen

Incredibly sad poem Amy, when you see the children out there who need help, you have to question the society we live in, and the people in power who should be helping >> James
