She was only just a child,
took on such a BIG responsibility,
at such a LITTLE age,
Had so much for her to handle,
She lost control of who she was.
Her mother, father, and brother were there, but awful did they treat her.
Silent nights, loud screams.
The pain, stress, and agony.
Why her,
She was only just a child.
What made her life so hard?
Why did you make her life so hard.
She was only just a child.
It eneded for her at such a young age.
She was beautiful, smart, and out-going.
Why did it have to be her?
She was only just a child.
