Innocence I never possessed
Because so much was taken from me
I never marvelled at the simple things
Only wondered when the next attack would come
When the next blow would fall
When the next fight would break
Innocence I never possessed
Because so much was ripped from my arms
I never sat in wonderment at the sight of simple things
Only wondered when he would call me to preform
When I would have to go numb
When force would become a part of me
Innocence I never possessed
Because no was not a word I was allowed
I never delighted in the joys of innovation
Only wondered when their eyes would sting
When his hands, their hands would penetrate
When blood would reign
Innocence I never possessed
Because no one gave me the chance
I never gave me the chance
Now it's all lost
And I sit and wonder
When will it stop replaying in my head
When will my life belong to me
When, when, when....

Your innocence has been lost but your empathy, love and kindness exudes with a passion
So much has been robbed from you yet you still give so generously
Your body broken and so much taken yet you still have time for friends
Close your eyes rest your mind let your friends help make amends
No one can ever really understand the violation so unkind
I sit in wonderment of a friend so brave and kind
Lord give this lost girl a chance
