A child, small and delicate, ready to conquer the world.

Innocent, soft and righteous.

Family surrounded her, but the beast was there dressed as her hero.

The beast stole her innocence, he exploited and mistreated her.

Mishandling and ill treatment.

The villain soon appeared, she came to her realisation that her hero she looked up had ceased to be visible, he had vanished.

She grew angry and lost, she became irritated and would lash out.

Deep inside, her kindness and compassion reared.

She remained innocent and soft, it was all not lost.

She grew, she learnt hard lessons but the with bad came the good.

In the end, she knew she had to forgive, for you see the anger that raged inside could only fester and become more.

She forgave but she did not forget, the harm and exploitation that he brought upon her.

And so, with the forgiveness of her kind heart, she shed that layer of skin.

She turned her page and looked back on her past, for she now knew, that forgiveness was the key, there was no more victim.

She was now a woman, a woman of strength and courage, her grace was seen and she walked ahead, leaving behind her horrid past.
