Stolen
Raped at four, Forced at six,
Sold at eleven
for someone else's kicks,
Degraded at twelve
by more than fifteen men,
Saved from trafficking at sixteen,
I lost all that I am.
Home invaded when twenty
Never felt save since
My skull broken at thirty-two
From then on, I always wince
Addicted by that time
I couldn't handle the pain
Of being disposable and mangled
It would never be the same
Every time I screamed "no"
I got silenced
where they could
In a world led by men and women,
stolen of motherhood.
Slavery still exists
And every 26 seconds
A child is sold into slavery.

And every 26 seconds
A child is sold into slavery.
