Never Warned

In this era of love or lust

a little girl is sheltered from the world.

Today she turned eighteen, so they let her free.

Shes out on her own finding that life

is not as her parents had made it.

A boy appears, he seems so nice

she thinks he's here to help.

Only now she never saw it comming

she's tied to a bed and has

been beaten in the head.

This is nothing that she was prepared for.

Her parents never warned

Now her world is shattered and broken

when this boy sets her free

she's too afraid to tell

instead she heads to her bead

with some pills, a knife and a bottle of gin

she decidesto go out with a bang.

Pills down the throat with the bottle of gin

then to cutting she goes.

As her ruby red blood falls so does she

gone forever and her last few hours shrouded in mystery

her parents cry but only for her death

they do not realize that it is all their fault

that their sheltered little girl is

       gone and away.

A very beautiful poem, though it almost brought me to tears!

The best lines of the poem that really stood out to me when I read them were:

"As her ruby red blood falls so does she
gone forever and her last few hours shrouded in mystery"

I got chills reading that.

All I can say is Wow... its so dark yet it seems as if it could happen to anyone, but life is of the same kin. Hard, unforgiving, and this portrays the end for someone sweet, and possibly foolish.

I feel parents can guide children but once they grow up they have to find out just how the world really works. A sad poem yes, but many innocent people live through nightmares just like this. Some chose to go on with life and find a new path to find joy on while others chose to pass on life and accept the cards that were dealt them. In the end we do have a choice some stand and some chose to sit down. I feel no one really knows if they are one who stands or one who sits until they are dealt these cards and asked to play them.

A nice dark poem of American life growing up and learning life.
