                I am a girl, turning to a lady
Soon, I will be a blossomed daisy
I am a future wife and a future mother
I love to live life and I love to laugh
                
...
            
                The pitty patter of toes in the mud
Gone now, replaced with a twisted cord
Oh! What struggles come with a forced bride? 
Which no memory of it, an eraser can wipe
                
...
            
                Child molestation, what a dethronation
A brutal attack disrupting future formation
Deception, sexual abuse and intimidation
The perpetrators, wolves in sheep clothing
                
...
            
                A yesterday to remember
Living today as a defender
Against what we used to crave
Passions raging with the waves
                
...
            
                Away from world troubles, engulfed in your presence
All I want is the embrace of your essence
                
...
