See her sitting
Absent minded
In her own nightmare
She's just a child
Yet her youth was stolen
Wrecked with scars
That will never heal
Why do we commit
Such horrid acts
Against our own future
Why is childhood stolen
From those that are pure
Reliving every minute
Of abuse and neglect
In vain we try to save her
Yet we cannot reach her
The wounds of her soul
Are too deep
No saviour will prevail
For what was taken
Can never be returned

->Be thy angels? Nay We are just men!<-

=( sad but true...sad that it is true...and probably true just because it is sad, unfortunately.

Thank you for sharing this one.
It is deeply sad and unfortunately true. Yes why indeed ? I have asked the question too. This happened to my niece.

This one hit home, and I thank you for sharing. This was well written. The only thing that caught my attention was when my mind tried to change the second line from "Absent minded" to "Absent mindedly". What do you think?

Keep writing.
