a child in need

As her mother and father sent her off to bed
Little did she know what came to led
A 13-year-old girl should be out playing with a friend
But instead this is her end
A marriage she never wanted
Violence would have saved me.
A thought I struggle to comprehend.
It were the words that degraded me, broke me down,
they wrapped around my neck.
"Piece of shit"
"worthless"
"a mistake"
a child walks in the office
looks of disbelief
expression of his thoughts were shaken
felt like his life was taken
not from a stray bullet
guilt from family that live off empowerment
