her innocent was stripped away at a very young age
her view of herself was only what her piers told her to be
the others told her they would come after her
not in the black hood that everyone could see
but the thieves in the night
talking her humanity by the spoon full
she woke up looking in the mirror realizing the darkness in her eyes
the absents of light
they took the with the words
the sword of the tough
she did not know the meaning of this
all she knew was that the words did not mean well
she became the words, whatever the children told her what they meant
when they did not know the meaning themselves
the lies to both herself and the others where now truth
she became "they", then used the retched vocabulary back
