Forsaken and Forgotten

Location

Forsaken, Forgotten

Crushed by the fall

Broken and wounded

Once again left all alone

Abandoned, famined,

Reprimanded, unexamined

Used, abused

Left a confused little girl,

Lost in this crazy world

Too many open doors

Too much pain she bore

When she was tied down to that floor

Made a sex slave, a hoe, a whore

Stripped her virginity

In such a quick glance

Stripped away her purity

No longer wearing white for that dance

It’s what she learned to live for

Affection from her dad

Starting with that gentle touch

Yet inside she felt so bad

So sad, so mad

But she didn’t use the voice she had

Even though it was a choice

She was just too scared and full of fear

With all the manipulation that just tore her to tears

But now that the time is near

She can overcome with a fear

Yes, there will be trials,

And she may shed a tear
but that doesn’t mean

Death should be her career

She has so much to live for

She’s a daughter of the King,

Loved with a love that is everlasting

Peace surpassing, mo more harassing,

No longer barely grasping,

Grasping for life, gasping for air

But instead, standing firm

In her confidence of being a co-heir.

Her past slate has been wiped clean,

he’s been freed and no longer needs to bleed

And keep memories that scars leave

Yet then pull down her sleeves

So that she can once again feel like she cannot achieve

The vicious cycle of destructive self-contempt

No longer controls

Instead she allows Him to take the lead role

And mold her into what He wants her to be

The beautiful princess

Who was given the key

The loveable child

Who has been set free

The noticed child

Whose every word is heard

This girl is me

And I love this identity.

I know the Father’s cleansed me,

And is more than willing to bless.

So I put my trust in him

And he gives me peaceful rest.
