Familial Misuse
April 24, 2016
She played out dreams through dolls each day
Her polished land of hope
Home secret of lace silhouette
Her only way to cope
“This is the love you’re deprived of”
Her father said in rage
“Be a good girl, twirl baby twirl”
She cringes under age
That’s not it, there’s more to commit
Like father like brother
These clowns get passed down
Yet preys for another
The little girl plays with her pearls
Innocent as can be
Living a life ending in strife
One day she will flee
