She was covered in grime
Her teeth was all I could see
But beneath all that dirt
Beneath her cracked little feet
True beauty lay
In soft shades of Pink
She's a girl I won't forget
For she stood there
Dejected and broken
With a story scarring
Then I remembered a day in the past
When I was grandma's little girl
I was wild and free
Like the Land that birthed me
Nurtured and nourished
So no hand could harm
But this one hurts
With a thousand tears
In her red widened eyes
All innocence brutally taken
She peeks from the window
Shadows from the past
Casting their gloom
She was a light, a precious spark
Now caged by distant memories
Of her life taken away
Here she mourns like a woman
Bereaved
A woman utterly stripped
Of her immunity, her dignity
She's a girl, not a toy
Do you see her tears rain
From the clouds of despair?
When she's abused over and over
When she's married at twelve
To a man older than grandpa
And her light strangulated
When her shelter becomes
Her prison
And her protégé is her captor
She's a girl with a fate unknown
For in tethers she ever remains
Wandering as a prisoner
Desperately lonely till the very end
