Sold
Sold
To be sold by the people
Who were supposed to love you
To be sold at
Just 9 years old
For alcohol and laughs
To be sold
Day after day
Why fight?
To be sold by people
Who were supposed to love you
To be sold at
Just 10 years old
Fear filled eyes
Scared of the dark
But can’t handle what’s in the light
Night after night
To be sold by people
Who were supposed to protect you
To be sold at
Just 11 years old
Losing any hope of being rescued
They are to smart and strong
Know what to say and how to act
Facts aren’t facts
No evidence of abuse or neglect
To be sold by someone who
Was supposed to protect you
the worlds keeps turning
But your world is dying
The will to live is faint
Alone inside
Crying to be feee
But no one will listen
Or choose to s e
To be sold by someone who
Was supposed to protect you
To be sold at
Just 12 years old
Held down and forced to fight
300 lbs of weight
Breathing begins to shake
Arms pin down as they watch
Laughing and partaking
In the water torture
All for what
To be sold
