There Was A Little Child

By Blacken_Heart

Once there was a little child
Who wore pink dresses
Drew with crayons
And made Paint Messes
Who never worried about life
Because she was a kid
She only had 2 friends
And did what they did.

Once there was a little kid
Who wore a flower shirt
Played soccer with the boys
And on her clothes was dirt
The girls did not like her
Maybe Because she was white
They laughed at her and teased her
Just because she was alittle light.

Once there was a little girl
Who wore ugly pants
Still played with the boys
And never got asked to a dance
The girls still hated her
And every night she'd cry
Then on one crappy day
Her sister got her high.

Once there was a pre-teen
Who wore tight clothes
Played with all the boys
And she got called a Hoe
She wanted to be like her sister
And get hit on by guys
But she got druged and raped
And forever she dies.

Now theres a teenage girl
Who wears mostly black
She pretends not to hurt
But its all a good act
Scars on her wrist
And Scars on her heart
She remembers the nights
She'd been torn apart.

i like the poem (story), its unreal how kids, especially girls can be so cruel to others. some times you just got to kick a little ass to make it stop or some thing like what you wrote will wind up coming true for some little girl(or boy). i loved this po

It really is a shame that even as a child we don't realize how cruel we can be. You have put into words a story so personal for yourself, and yet one that so many people can relate to. Makes you wonder why all those kids who are left out can't find each other until later on.... -Heather-
