A youth wasted
trying to find her worth
in the hungry glances
of immature pervs
unfortunate endeavor
that only served
to reinforce self-hate
insecurities affirmed
She let herself
be objectified
and thrown away
so many times
subconscious self-harm
she sought to find
and replaced love
with the taste of wine
Now the best years
are all used up
her higher self holds
an empty cup
realized too late
that enough is enough
destroyed the person
you once loved
Protect the Innocent
