Lost Innocence

Looking back on a time and place
Seeing a child's innocent face

Knowing that things aren't as they appear
For inside she cries silent tears

Deep inside she is filled with pain
She feels dirty and full of shame

There is no freedom or escape
From the fact that this child was raped

what ifs' keep running through her mind
She keeps going back to those moment in time

Even though common sense says it was not her fault
She can't seem to help from having these thoughts

Fear kept her frozen to the spot
While this grown man did what he should have not

The same thing happened again and again
the first one was just how it begun

The thing that is shocking beyond belief
Is that this child could not get any relief

More than one man did his worst
None of them caring about the child they hurt

Now she is in prison that has no gate
Every one of them sealing her fate
