Little Girl Lost
This is a story I would like to tell.
It is a story of a little girl lost,
not physically lost,
but she had a lost soul.
This little girl,
was abused by her father,
who was supposed to be a great man in his world.
But this great man,
would make this beautiful little girl,
with beautiful golden hair,
do things that little girls were not
expected or supposed to do.
This little lost girl,
broke into other pieces,
and each one has a name.
But, each one of these pieces,
have always been there to protect her
and keep her away from the pain and the shame.
The pieces have names,
that are beautiful and strong!
Their names are, Grace, Audrey,
Monique, Scout, Claire and Alexis.
They are her best friends,
and have protected her from the great man.
The man was great in his world,
but not in ours.
He was great outside of us,
but made us keep horrendous and horrible secrets.
The secrets grew through the years,
as the abuse got worse,
a mother in denial,
not wanting to know,
that such things could happen,
to someone that she had born.
The little girl grew,
to be the woman she is today,
searching her soul and not knowing why.
Until one day when the great man dies,
she is really confused,
but does not know how to cry.
She cries for the little girl,
who was lost in the past.
She cries for the great man,
that was supposed to be her dad.
She cries for the others,
that have seen the same pain.
But, is going on with her life,
so she will no longer feel,
the pain or the shame.
The pieces are coming together today.
Piece by piece,
we are all getting rid of the shame.
The little girl lost,
is finding her way.
For now she is a Survivor,
and a Survivor she'll stay.
Now that she is a Survivor,
the pieces are whole,
and all of us are want to reach out and
show the other lost souls,
that there is help and support.
And, I am here,
with wings open wide,
which will envelope them all,
to show them that they will hurt never more.
So come with me,
and I'll envelope you in my wings,
where I can fly away with you and
save your little lost souls.
