Just a Little Girl Alone and Afraid in this Very Big world.

She was just a little girl alone and mostly afraid of this world. Everyday her mother would tell her how ugly she was and how useless she was, ironically her mother was projecting her own deep wounds on to her innocent little girl. This little girl by the age of six already knew what it was like to feel abandonment, rejection, and physical pain.

The molestation started at the age of five, and as she confided in her family instead of protecting her, she was stripped down naked, beaten with a rhinestone belt and already knew it what it meant to want to die.

The girl always tried to keep a smile on her face, but you could see this ancient soul that carried the weight of the world in her sad yellow green eyes. No one dared to even care, for the burdens they had caused her to bare.

Until one day a stranger in a diner silently viewed her at a table from across the room, and began to draw her. After she finished she approached the girls table and gifted her this piece. She said to her in case no one has ever told you, you are beautiful, to beautiful not to be seen.
