Lil girl a victim again
With no one to tell or hold
Almost a full grown adult
But barley 12 yrs old
She holds herself again tonight
To take away her fears
She prays to god to help her
And dry away her tears
Now she is a teenager
Everything stays the same
Witnessing more abuse and hurt
She wishes it was all a game
She will not date a single man
For the abuse she has been through
Holding herself in her own arms
Is the only love she knew
Now she is the age of 21
And things seem stranger yet
a stranger took her innocence again
And raped what he could get
Now she is much older
And knows she did nothing wrong
But her heart is full of pain and sadness
That will always make her strong
