Little girl lost
Abuse,neglect, addiction and regret
has swallowed up this little girls pride.
It has eaten all away the good things left to say,
there was nothing else to do but run and hide.
The pain was so unreal, the escape was not to feel,
so she ran and left her heart & soul behind.
Not knowing whats ahead, not caring what was said,
her life was sure to be a living hell.
In the years to come, the mistakes came one by one,
the circle of addiction had begun.
Abuse,neglect,addiction and regret,
there was no where for her to go but down.
She finally saw the light, and then began to fight,
the cycle of destruction she always knew.
Now facing all her fears and shedding lots of tears,
she got through it with a positive attitude.
Her priorities now were straight with sobriety on her plate,
her life now full of love she never knew.
