The Loss Of Innocence

Look not, little one For the world is not what it seems Hear not, little one For whispering lies beckon you at every corner Speak not, little one For the world shall set fire to your words Do not, little one For the world shall judge you and damn you So innocent and sweet A bright smile on her stupid face Approaches the world with curiosity and wonder Loving and giving with no end in sight Beaten and raped again and again Doctrine of christianity Ironbound by the chains of oppression Doctrine of abuse Forever living in fear of the unknown Twisted and malevolent beliefs corrupting her soul Tainted purity gives way to insidious thoughts Crack of the whip Instills fear of the ages to come Violated beyond salvation Helpless cries silencing her into isolation Wounds heal but scars remain Haunted past tearing the pages of a brighter tomorrow Worldly pleasures blinding her senses Digital age filling her head with shit Chemicals sterilizing all feelings and emotions Apathy reigns in her cold empty shell True self hidden beneath layers of lies Alter ego manifests to protect and hide A freak of society they called her A goddess of beauty they now worship her The black hole that is her personality All consuming, the insatiable hunger for control False empathy, draws them near Hungry words feeding you love on a spoon The day too will come when your heart breaks Where then will you turn to hide from the suffering and pain The joys of this world that you stole from me The child has died too young A bleak cold world I now tread The loss of innocence consumes me
