the broken girl

She is a small girl

Living under protection of her home

She is fragile knowing nothing about life

She thinks she is sheltered from the bad hats

She doesn't bargain in her life

What life she sees in her eyes

As her mother divorced

The father married again

Then the home becomes a hell

The parents abused her to no end

The marks on her body and broken ribs

She suffered so much pain in her home

The years she endured her pain

Until neighbours made complaints

The police came knocking at the door

What they saw the sadness in the eyes

The small girl was rescued

Living now without the fear

Though her injuries will stay permanent

The trauma will haunt her for life

So when you can't have children

Don't bring them to the world

Go get into family planning

Stay alone live the way you like
