Dirty Slate

Did you see that carefree little girl?

Without a worry in the world.

So young and so happy, 

Oblivious to the dangers of people.

So pure and so untouched, 

But now she's afraid of the dark. 

It happened in that room in the dark.

Innocence stolen and body mutilated,

So much hate and so much shame.

Although scars heal her soul still feels, 

She still wakes up in fear most nights. 

No longer carefree just a girl with a dirty slate.

I really like this. It's dark, and to the point with only a slight bit of 'mystery'. I say it with quotations cause its pretty obvious what it's about, but there's always a question without saying it. I hope this isn't a true memory of yours, and if it is I'm sorry you had to go through that.
I also like how you call it a dirty slate, i think its super clever. good work.

It is sad how we can rude a dream of the one young and hopeful in life. You create story in the poetry with a sad ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
