Baby Girl Poem by Jennie Bregan

Look into my eyes and you will see
Searing pain beyond belief
In here a struggle is going on
To save a life, a newly born
One still young to the world
A sweet innocent baby girl
She was abused so many times
She does not think she deserves this life
Hurt and betrayed by all she's loved and known
She stands stock-still as a stone,
And screams andcries in self abuse
For all the times she's been used.
She is trapped stuck in a cage,
In a sullen furious rage.
She is unable to express herself
But tries and tries to seek help.
But people are getting tired of this girl
They are ready to lock her up for sure.
For all she can do to escape from pain
Is cut herself again and again
I'm telling this from you to me
Because this girl wants to be set free.
