The Story Of A Girl

WARNING: speaks of rape, abuse, and suicide, please only read this if you are okay with reading about these topics

This is the story of a girl
A girl whose life is a dark path
But this story is one
Which starts with another

This is the story of a girl
A product of rape
Now a reminder
Of pain and regret

This is the story of a girl
A victim of abuse
No longer a child
But a punching bag

This is the story of a girl
Whose heart was broken
Not by a crush
But by her own father

This is the story of a girl
Who only knows pain and sadness
As she cries herself to sleep
Every night since she was six

This is the story of a girl
Who now knows depression
And suicidal thoughts
As she is now fifteen

This is the story of a girl
Who uses poetry
To express the feelings
She can barely explain

This is the story of a girl
A girl who has been to hell
And back multiple times
And could go again with a smile

This is the story of a girl
A girl whose life is a dark path
But this story is one
Which is the story of me
