You Took Me

When you took me, you were wrong. I was under age and God knows I was'nt strong. I was young and you forced me to pretend that my life with my family was nearly at an end. You beat me and tortured me day after dayand when you would leave , I would feel safe. I'd get on my knees and pray "please lord just spare me one more day". I don't eat, I dont sleep, you'd beat me till I was weak. I don't want to die, everyday I'd cry "someone please release me from this pain I feel inside. I've endured so much pain that my body is numb, I silently wait for someone to come. I wish I had wings to fly up above, to sing that I'm home to finally feel loved. the scars from your knife will haunt me the rest of my life. You left me beaten and bloody,I waited for an angel to find me and my wish came true from out of the blue, God sent me an angel to show me the truth. I was empty and scared, hoping someone's out there who might even care. was tired and cold. Will this little lost girl soon leave this world? Someone finally came to carry me home, by the grace of god, so that I can move on. don't know if I'll get over this, and I'll never understand why, how another human being could take an innocent child. You took my strength and destroyed my pride, just to satisfy that sickness that manifests in your mind. I can't go back and change what you've done, but I have finally forgave you so I can move on. Even though it may take some time and a lot of searching inside,I hope you find peace while your doing your time. I'll always wonder for the rest of my life, why you took me that day for that life altering ride.
