Chained unable to escape.
Harmed with feelings of guilt.
Innocence of childhood denied.
Lead astray with polluted mistrust.
Damaged by manipulations.
Atrocity's never forgotten.
Bruised and blemished with brutality.
Used inappropriately unable to .
Scream unheard for fear of being beaten.
Exploited unable to ever trust anyone.
Author notes
my name marina smith
my thoughts on my lost innocence of childhood I was abused by my step father and beaton by my mother

Thank you so much for adding this to my contest. I am honoured. This is an incredible write. I am so sorry that this happened to you, i can relate so well.
Your words are so full of power and emotion. The pain here is so evident.
The flow and word choice is perfect.
Well done and if you ever need someone to talk to that understand and can relate please feel free to message me, also if you wanted to, please read some of my work, i think you could relate to a lot. -
The horror of this poem
Ever creeping in shadows of abuse
My god this one sent a shiver and a coldness within me

Horrific. What more can be said? I am so very very sorry. Your emotion poured through this short piece. Indeed, it was a lost innocence. Such a terrible thing...

Oh honey I am so sorry
I not only blame the parents for this I blame the entire family and neighbors and friends for if they couldnt see the fear thats in a childs eyes and find out why they to are guilty. I see children at times when I am out in public and I do go up to them and talk with them when I am in doubt of their well being .I talk with the parent that is with them and before I leave I speak to that parent where the child cannot see but I tell them that little girl is me and I know what she is going through and will be watching so you love her and let me never see her like this again I will help you if you need me to but she needs love see that she gets it .
