Pretty Little Girl

catalyzed impurity

By Evelyn's WorkshopPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

Pretty little girl, Barbie and Ken

Roller skates, jump rope, innocence

Play and laugh, and laugh and sing

Just turned thirteen

Shaping up, breasts, hips, and thighs

Dirty old man, dirty old mind

Makes good grades, but so naive

Stolen virginity

Other little girls, still playing with toys

Pretty little girl, playing with big boys

Experience and curiosity

Promiscuity

Rumors, gossip, filled with shame

Pointed fingers, took the blame

Statutory rape, molestation

Humiliation

Pretty little lady, pretty little "ho"

Knocked up, abortion, self-esteem low

Confused love with intimacy

Insecurity

Pretty young woman, tug of war

Crying all night, broken heart

Backward, forward, push and shove

Struggle with love

Pretty young woman, on her knees

Head bowed, hands clutched, speak freely

Forgive yourself immediately

Now go in peace
