Poem: she cried in the middle of the night
she was so jumpy and would easily fright
she feared that other could sense her shame
was this young girl really to blame?
There was nowhere she could find relief
she was scared she wouldn't find belief
she felt so dirty and still does today
she didn't know how to keep the pain at bay
her broken heart was full of pain
for the rest of her life it would stain
he would take her clothes off and touch
this haunted her mind very much
she tried to make people understand
even when he started to use the back of his hand
she couldn't find the slightest inch of love
she would wish for an angel from above
this mountain of unnoticed fear
went on and on year after year
why did no one come to her aid
slowly her happiness began to fade
it went on for so long
he didn't think he was doing any wrong
this little girl no one could save
they all said she was bad to misbehave
all the while she was being so brave
she would even wish for an early grave...
