Jennifer

Abused and raped as a child
Robbed of her childhood and her smile
Betrayed by those she entrusted herself to
Condemned to be silent alone.

She had closed every window to her soul
Locked every door to her heart.
Captured in a cocoon of silence and of pain
She never had a chance.

All the nights when the sleep won’t come
When this face distorted to a grim appears in the dark.
All the dreams in which it happens again,
There’s no escape, just helplessness and despair.
All the screams getting stuck in her throat
Retched out as a silent sob – unheard

She had closed every window to her soul
Locked every door to her heart.
Captured in a cocoon of silence and of pain
She never had a chance.

Abused and raped as a child
Robbed of her childhood and her life.
