This little girl of 8

this little girl of 8
by jenny dobson
this little girl of 8 runs to her roomin hopes that he will pass her by
she prays that he will not look her way
she runs to her closet
in hopes he will not see her
for she knows that it's forbiddenthat it's a sin
this little girl of 8 she runs to her room
in hopes that the rage
she sends will pass her by
she knows not a day goes by
that she must feel this rage
she can see the hatred in her eyes
she is told she lies
this little girl of 8
she needs to be freed
of the belts, the flyswatters and the wooden spoons
she is called whore,sleeze tramp
not a day goes by that she that
she doesnt' wish she was gone
she runs to her daddy
and is told not to lie
what should she do
he doesn't believe
she is lost to him
he has believe his wife
yet again this little girl has grown
and is now 28
still she is hiding
from her fate
this woman of 28
is only looking for love
but seems to only get heartache from above
she sends out her blessing to all the little girls of this world
she doesn't wish to be 8 again
PEACE AND LOVE TO YOU ALL......cries the little girl of 8
