this little girl of 8

by jenny dobson

this little girl of 8 runs to her room

in 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 forbidden

that 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 dohe doesn't believe

she is lot to him

he has believe his wife

yet again this little girl had grown and is now 28

still she is hidingfrom 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
