The innocence of youth,
The ignorance of teenaged years
Melted the tender heart
As innocently, she looks into space.
Innocence is murdered!
Looking, but not seeing
As her peers filed past
The chattering,
The laughter,
Jolted her back to reality,
The reality of her situation.
Stranded in the middle of the road,
Her future kept on hold
For the unplanned life
Growing inside of her.
Oh, how she cried!
But, no one could hear her voice;
Lonely night, she has to endure
Not a single idea in mind
How to find eromonmon for the “thing”
Growing inside of her.
Innocence is murdered!
The nights and days seem longer;
The fetus neither knows its surroundings
Nor cares about eromonmon.
Innocence has to give way
And maturity overtakes.
A child gave birth to a child;
The heart is made bare
And replaced with a heart of stone
Never to love again,
And then the feeble mind yielded.
Innocence is murdered!
