There sits a girl

There sits a girl

There sits a

girl no older

than seventeen.

There are marks

on her arm

where it looks

she got abuse

when she was little.

There sits a

girl no older

than seventeen and

she is crying.

She wears nothing

but black because

she is afraid

of being hurt again.

There sits a

girl of the

age of seventeen

and she was

abuse all of

her life.
