A girl of young age

Wakes in the night

Seeing her mother pack

She starts to cry

Asking her, "What are you doing?"

To her child she says, "Leaving."

Knowing nothing to do the girl only watches

Her mother packs and walks out the door

Crying she goes to her brother and father

Telling them she watched and did nothing

Crying as she does

The both attack her saying

"Why didn't you stop her?!"

She merely cries as she sits there

Thinking, 'It's all my fault. Why didn't I do anything?'

Only months later to be convinced

By the one supposed to protect her

The she was thrown out by the father

Convinced of this lie

The little girl pushes him away

Only to find later that it was a lie

Too late does this child grow to be wise

Wise of the fact that her mother lied to her

Wise to the fact that this family sworn to protect her

Is the one thing she always has and always will

Need protection from
