Sold

Sold

To be sold by the people
Who were supposed to love you
To be sold at 
Just 9 years old
For alcohol and laughs 
To be sold 
Day after day
Why fight?
To be sold by people
Who were supposed to love you
To be sold at 
Just 10 years old
Fear filled eyes 
Scared of the dark
But can’t handle what’s in the light 
Night after night
To be sold by people
Who were supposed to protect you
To be sold at 
Just 11 years old
Losing any hope of being rescued 
They are to smart and strong
Know what to say and how to act
Facts aren’t facts
No evidence of abuse or neglect 
To be sold by someone who
Was supposed to protect you
the worlds keeps turning
But your world is dying
The will to live is faint
Alone inside 
Crying to be feee
But no one will listen
Or choose to s e
To be sold by someone who
Was supposed to protect you
To be sold at
Just 12 years old
Held down and forced to fight
300 lbs of weight
Breathing begins to shake
Arms pin down as they watch
Laughing and partaking
In the water torture 
All for what
To be sold
