    ONLY A CHILD

    HOW DO YOU THINK IT MAKES ME FEEL?

    WHEN YOU'RE TOUCHING ME AND RUBBING ME IN PLACES THAT SHOULDN'T BE REVEALED

    HOW AND WHY DID IT HAVE TO BE ME

    WHEN IN FACT BEHIND BARS AND PRISON IS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE

    WRITING POETRY HELPS ME LEARN

    MY RESPECT AND DIGNITY YOU'LL NEVER EARN

    YOU WERE OLDER AND YES YOU KNOW

    I WAS TOO YOUNG TO BE TOUCHED FROM GET- GO

    OH WHEN OH WHEN WILL THIS SHIT END?

    WITH MY LIFE STORY I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN

    I'M AN ADULT NOW AND YES IT'S HARD

    THOSE MEN SHOULD'T HAVE CAME NEAR ME FROM THE START

    I'M ALL GROWN WITH KIDS OF MY OWN

    I JUST WISH I CAN PROTECT THEM UNTIL THEY'RE GROWN

    WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND SMILE

    JUST REMEMBER I WAS ONLY A CHILD!!!!

    What a beautiful poem. I am now writing a book in poetic form about the abuse and killing of our babies. You have a very good attitude and it shows in your poem. Keep up the good work. God Bless!

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
