Lost Innocense

There is no freedom or way out

From the fact this child was raped

While the guilty man is running free

This child is sentenced to eternity

Locked away with all this shame

Feeling she was to blame

She can’t keep from having these thoughts

All the questions entering her mind

Going back to those dreaded days

Was there anything she could have done

Why didn’t she scream or try to run

She was frozen with fear

Shame and fear forced her silence

Kept her from telling anyone about the abuse

Over and over she was hurt

None of them caring who they hurt

A part of her died with each and every touch

Entering in a prison with no gate

Each man sealing her fate
