Stolen Childhood Poem by Krysteenah Harbyhodun

Stolen Childhood

A child was begotten
So tender and mild...
With love in her eyes..
With a trusted soul..
With the thought that no harm can come to her..
Gradually, this young child turned into a beautiful lady.
The one admired by all..
One night, Her Pride was stolen..
Her innocence taken and ripped off from her..
She cried vigorously, ..
She was left alone,
Lost,
Confused..
No comforts anywhere..
Darkness all around..
This she kept all to herself..
She knows it's wrong
But can't voice out..
The thought of it is killing each time it pops into her head...
Her childhood was stolen by a trusted face....
A person no one on earth can ever replace..
The pain and burden she bears for so long..
Years passed by
Sooner she realized that she had to let go of her past.
She learnt to love,
To forgive and
Smile for there are brighter days ahead of her...
Things she left behind kept on reoccurring..
Betrayals from the least expected people..
Turndown from friends and family..
Trust.. Broken...
She wonders why life is so unfair to her...
She needed help but found none
Rather things got complicated.
She lost focus, trust and hope on humans..
The only way out is to seek God and His Face
But she cannot hold firm unto Him as she keeps drawing back because of her weaknesses...
Her dreams shattered
Her life damaged...
The pain caused cannot be erased..
The wound cannot be healed..
Only with the help of Jah to recover
&
To get out of the mess....
A Stolen Childhood can cause an internal bleeding that can never be healed.....

Dedicated to those who have been abused at a tender age and those who are still faced with such problems..

Speak Out,
Communicate with the right people,
Seek Help; Physically & Spiritually
Before it is too late......
