Nothing but a Boy

A child, so innocent, pure happiness, helpless.

Never spoke unless spoken too, taught family was to be trusted.

A victim at the hands of a teenage boy,

Nothing but a boy.

A teenager, so ambitious, strong, fighting to forget.

Shying away from the world, forgotten by those who were once friends,

Depression sneaking up on the forgotten.

A young woman, broken, torn, fighting for her life

forced to keep the secret.

A woman, won the battle but not the war, fighting alone, at peace.

A new family, A new beginning,

A new woman and nothing but a boy.
