The Pain of a Little Girl

by Momma   May 11, 2009


I am from the pain of a little girl
This is my secret about to unfurl

I was hurt when I was a child
I was in pain, I was defiled
I felt so betrayed, I felt so appalled
For a long time, I sat alone and bawled

I am from the pain of a little girl
This is my secret beginning to unfurl

I laid awake many a night
Trying not to be sick with fright
But sick I was as I learned
That I was not the first to be burned

I am from the pain of a little girl
This is my secret, watch it unfurl

Now I awake in a cold sweat
Unsure if he regrets it yet
Knowing he soon will as I dress
I doubt that he will ever guess

I am from the pain of a little girl
This is my secret that I will unfurl

I walk in his room, he's fast asleep
Dreaming good dreams while I've had to weep
I take a deep breath and pull out the knife
I am fully prepared to take a life

I am from the pain of little girls
This is how my secret unfurls

As the sun rises, the blood flows free
It is not his, it belongs to me
As the day grows even brighter
My body is becoming lighter

I am from the pain of a little girl
Who is no longer trapped in this cruel world

    Wow...hard to follow a coment like that. But I'll try :) I really liked the style. Changing from two lines to four lines was avery unique idea. I felt the your emotions were clear and very deep. You weren't afraid to pour your soul out here and it shows in every stanza. I love the imagery and the story you tell is such a heartfelt one. You have an amazing talent my friend, so keep on writing. Nik

    This was beautiful. Each word held a deeper meaning than the last. This is full of emotional boundaries and hidden secrets. The persons self respect dwindles to a non existent proximity. We all have been defiled in some sort of way in our life's. Disrespect is a form of defilement. But sexual abuse of ones body is a form of rape or molestation. To certain extents people go through life with null and void views on such things. They usually don't heed to warnings or even care enough to want to help. I felt this piece was a blatant confession of being used sexually. The damage that is done with a persons hands or body or mouth can cause the downfall of a whole family. It hurt's to be a part of something as such. But in all actuality its happening everyday. This was beautiful m'dear. And not just because of the wording but because of the meaning. In my mind this is the persons last request. To be taken away. Or for him to stop. Which would never happen most likely. Death is scary to some. But when it gets to hard to live or when you are murdered its not so hard. Life is a gift. But so is death. Too much pain shouldn't have to be suffered. Death is in some forms salvation. No one should have to live with pain everyday. Life isn't about pain. It's about happiness and love. Pain only brings tears and heartache.
    Great poem,
    Its very sad.
    But its beautiful.
    Bravo.
    5/5
