A Poem by Colton Warr

"And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness" secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name." Isaiah 45:3 

I heard a story of the most forsaken girl 
Born into a world of darkness 
She never had her own world 
Sold at a different type of market 

I heard a story of the most betrayed girl 
Sold off by her own father into the arms of the unknown 
What they did would make even the strongest of men cringe and curl 
Did their work and then cast her aside like a stone 

I heard a story of the most broken girl
What they did left her bruised and blind, decimated and deaf
A story of a cracked pearl 
But something intervened, a friend, a ref 

I heard a story of the most courageous woman
The true father intervened 
He said she could when she said she couldn't 
Once dirtied by the devil, the messiah has cleaned 

I heard a story of the most empowering woman
Now walking in the midst of the true faith
Hand in her fathers, she believed when others wouldn't 
It is now that she is saved 

I heard a story of the most enduring woman
Now she speaks her story to others 
Because we are all but only human
Her words a crusade for those who still suffer

I heard a story of the most precious girl 
She had been beautifully broken 
But I heard her sing, her voice rocked my world
I heard her sing, now God has spoken

Author's Note

Colton Warr
This poem tells the story of a girl I recently met a few days ago. She was sexually trafficked by her father. Abused and broken down, Blinded and deafened by a forceful overdose at the age of 2, literally caged by her father and only brought out when it was time for her to perform, you would think that there would be no hope, no light to runaway the encroaching darkness. But there was. I am not as religious as I probably should be, but hearing her story, and how broken and beaten down she was, and then hearing how she got back up, rose from the ashes and fire, and created a new life for herself with the help of God and an amazing ministry has changed me. This was the result of a rapid reaction from her telling me her story. When she finished, she picked up a guitar and started playing and singing for me. She had the voice of an Angel. I hope you guys enjoy!

You have written this very well, I read book, maybe last year the book name is MONSTER and it's based on very popular incident that shook the world. Father captured his daughter and kept her in bunker with no lights for year. That was most terrific thing I have ever read.
This all about the hope that keep us alive.

No women should go though this I personally know what rape is like but this breaks my heart and open my eyes that if she can get back up from a more heart breaking story then my own I can get up from my abusers thank you for sharing this and open my eyes to change to get up

Wow. Just wow. The transition between the tragic and renewed is absolutely breathless. And wordless. I wouldn't change a word, Colton. You have captured the horror of her life all g with her healing and brand new faith. I hope you publish this piece in a journal dedicated to sexual violence awareness.

Wow beautiful work, brought me to tears. Sex traffickers drive me batty, in a perfect world, which unfortunately is unachievable thanks to sin, they would be put to death

The most beautiful things in this world are often imperfect and incomplete. Thank you for sharing this story and choosing to talk about this topic here. Sex trafficking is indeed a serious issue and you have presented it here so delicately and forcefully at the same time.God bless you and this girl :)

U are welcome colton :)
What a sad story, that poor girl. It depresses me how sick and evil humankind is, to do that to your own child.
I am not very much of a religious person, so I do not view her strength as coming from God or a Deity. The girl did it all herself. She must be so so strong to be able to go through all of that and rise above it to create a new life. It takes a strong and powerful heart and mind to do something like that, most people (myself included) would have just given up.
Her God gave her the encouragement and inspiration to be the strong person she is, but I believe her strength and the strength of those who survived abuse, came from within. A strength that they were born with. A willpower to rise above the pain, heartache and torment done by her Father.
Either way, the poem was moving and inspirational. The message was sad, but at the same time showed such powerful strength.

Wow, that is sad she had to go through all of that, but it is wonderful how she found God and can inspire others through her story. There is always hope when we look to God, and she shows that for everyone to see, her story has a wonderful ending and I like how you stated that she was beautifully broken, sometimes it takes being broken and then seeing the light to see how precious God's love is for us and how He can heal us and give us the ability to forgive others that has hurt us in the past. This forgiveness and strength would be impossible without God, so thankful He gives us all this same opportunity to be completely healed! Thank you for sharing!

Great Job
