I read the online newspaper on some site, and there was a story about a little girl who was murdered, in ways too awful to repeat. She would go to school with bruises but nobody helped her. It was too late.
Innocent Child
Style:
poetry
They saw the signs
They were shown, but not quite told.
Why would they ignore such a thing?
She was only seven years old.
She went to school
Everyone one knew
Even if her parents denied it,
Why couldn’t they realize the truth?
Inside her heart was breaking
Outside she only weakened a smile
Inside love was leaking
Outside she leaked tears
Outside, she was so brave
Inside she was full of fears
So the little girl had shown to us what we Should have already seen
That people as perfect as they seem, they Can be cruel and mean.
Deep deep inside tears stream
As we scream
And they form to a river
As we drown in a dream
Save, save this little girl
Help, try to help her stay alive
As you might overlook a child in pain,
They’re trying so hard to survive
Keep your eyes open, you may see some signs
You can look at the picture, but please read Between the lines
Don’t overlook
The pain in someone’s eyes.
If you look deep enough, you will realize
And you can help. Don’t be like the ones who
Saw the signs
They were shown, but not quite told.
Why would they ignore such a thing?
She was only seven years old.
Trapped in a shell of hope,
Encased in a smile,
Wrapped with a laugh
The innocence of a child.
 But when she laughs, she laughs smaller Inside
When she smiled, inside she lacked pride
But the poor little girl, had a trait run Deep in her- bravery
She is an
Angel from heaven
Who shared us seven years
Shed love to who she met and
We’ll never forget.
 Pain passes by us every second, everyday.
But are we too blind to see it
When it does, nowadays
If you see through that shell of hope, Encased in a smile,
Wrapped with laughs,
 Is the tortured innocence of a lonely Child.
Who forever sweetly naps
In heaven, holy kingdom,
She deserved better than earth
Where cruelty comes as often as it goes.
In peace, her new rebirth
So you can look at someone’s picture, but Read between the lines
You can see the pain in her eyes, but also Where bravery and love shines
Realize that you can change the world,
So if you see a boy or girl
In pain or if they seem deeply hurt
Be cautious be alert
Cuz they might be
Trapped in a shell of hope,
Encased in a smile,
Wrapped with a laugh
The innocence of a child.

Abuse is horrible,
+ it's so often overlooked...
Believe me, I have 1st hand
experience in that subject...
This poem captures emotion perfectly
and though it's upsetting,
I enjoyed reading it.

Well Done :]
