An Ode to Pain

                                             Bless me with Hercules’ might,
                                      As I embark on this journey to share my plight.

                                              The stories of sorrow and pain,

                                                 Let them not go in vain.


                                             The stories that bleed with tears,
                                                  Of thousands of girls,

                                                   Who wore dreams,

                                                       Like pearls.


                                                Fallen prey to lustful eyes,
                                                 Another childhood dies.

                                                      Nevertheless,
                                               Like a phoenix from ashes,

                                                One day we too shall rise.


                                                  A precious childhood,

                                                Now tainted with disgust,
                                             For now, we enter womanhood,

                                         Weary of love and blessed with mistrust.
