A little girl so innocent
Full of sugar and spice
At the beginning of her life
How trusting and beautiful
As she grows into a young lady
Not knowing
What lays in store for the years to come
The trauma at home
As her parents fight
Has become unbearable
The only option
Is to find somewhere else to call home
There is an old man that offers
Refuge to this beautiful young girl
And at her age of innocence
This girl welcomes the opportunity
With naive but open arms
While things are good for a while
This old man becomes a disgusting creep
Revealing the perversion
He had kept hidden behind a cloak of friendship
Now the young girl lays awake at night
Wondering is he going to hurt me tonight
Down the hallway after dark
Come the footsteps of the creepy old man
One step, creek goes the floorboards
Two steps, here he comes again
Oh no, my door opens and my heart skips a beat
And I pray, god please, why me? why me?
Put me out of my misery, I plead.
Author notes
This is based on a true story that happened to me, the trauma mentioned is still very real and vivid in my mind, apologies to those who find it too graphic but I needed to vent these words.

Glad you let it out ..Sad though..but never stop creating and talking about it!! I used to work in a treatment center for mental health and chemical dependencies..Read similar stories.. Also seen this disease within my own family so although i do not have it myself I do understand.
-
Reading pieces like these make me think maybe it's best if I stay at home, at least then I know the person doing it.
I don't know, maybe I hear all the horror stories and none of the normal results.
Good write, no where near as graphic as I've read before.
Jai.

I feel really bad for you, I really do, but because this has absolutely nothign to do with this contest, which has been a recent pattern with all of you from the "Not Well" contest I'm simply DQ'ing you ALL. I'm sorry, but I dont' even understand why you entered here. If you can enlighten me, please do so, and again I'm sorry that this happened to you. I had similar problems with a baby sitter that watched me for six years of my childhood.

POWERFULLY expressed in the expulsion... In the revealing is the healing...Goodluck in life and light. -
Very well wriiten. Sad also true reality to to many young women in thw world. I think they should al be killed for what they have done. I wrote Innocence Lost based on this same subject. You still the life of your victum, so why should you live.
Very strong and emotional write.
Wonderfully done. Though very sad and I am so sorry you are yet another victum of what you thought was innocent love.
Blessing to you.
