"They traveled across the world"
  by ThepureBlackpoet


They traveled across the world,
Just to come see me,
Mommy I guess they really love me,
They bring me gifts and tell me,
How much they miss me,
Hug me and kiss me,
Look me in the eyes and say they love me,
Mommy, I always wondered,
How come you don’t do this?
I guess its better off this way,
I guess you too old to do this,
And the love they gave me,
They wouldn’t give you,
But dam, I saw a picture of the world,
And oh my, they came this far,
But mommy, I wonder do you know,
I hurt deep inside, each time,
You sold me for the night; I’m just 11 years old,
I’m starting to think if you really love me,
I'm a living, young pimped out baby,
Every time I lay, deep inside I cry,
But outside I can’t show it,
I know on the other side of the world,
A little girl is outside playing,
On this bed, I’m here laying,
This is not the life a child,
I just know it, every time you came and got me,
I know, that I’ve just been used,
I still don’t know how I do this,
But my lil brother and sister gotta eat, so do you,
I’m a fallen down tree, with a damaged root,
They traveled across the world,
Left at home, their own baby girl,
To come and invade my young world,
Mommy, they are taking my childhood,
Why are old men so drawn to me,
This world is sick, mom I'm terminally ill,
I sacrifice for you, it's time you sacrifice for me,
Mommy, please tell me, how long do I have to do this.



I use to work in the airline industry, one day, met a man going to his flight,
and he was heading to Europe, and he persisted to share a story with me,
....And that day inspired this piece....

wow, I really loved the end, where you told your inspiration because I was kind of wondering through the write.. This made me feel so sad.. I know people and I myself have been abused.. I wasn't abused as a child, however I do know some women who have been, and even though I wasn't a child.. no matter what age.. when a man does anything to you.. it takes something away ... it truly does just take something away not only from childhood, but trust, being a woman, love... life.. how to view life......
