All too often young girls are not only abused as children but the cycle often continues into adulthood as they do what they have to...to survive

Stardust


By: Fee


 


Her mother had named her Stardust


her Daddy only called her witch


said that she deserved what she got


called her his stupid baby bitch


 


her self-respect was just a price tag


when desperation claimed her pride


a child crying in the night for milk


 a man that who only took her for a ride


 


battered and bruised her ego shifts


into the shadows of dreams undone


her own childhood dreams of terror


all good men she knew add up to none


 


she blinks through her gauzy vision


with her tear filled watered sight


as the grunting, rutting demon


sated pays for his night’s delight


 


she shivers from the sweat drop’s chill


hears his receding footsteps on the stair


picks up the used and abused money


to survive a world that doesn’t seem to care

When no means no, and when please? means don't do it...
Brutality comes when morals are thrown out of the window, the first window being the one at home.

Thank you so much Felix for realizing that all girls aren't bad, there are so many innocent ones who will do anything to survive espically if they have a child, it's hard to see the pain and suffering and so many have no one to turn to but the strangers on the street who are so willing to abuse them with a few dollars for their own cheap thrill. Thank you for sharing a piece of your heart.

Love ya face Cuz XOXOXO, Rose

Powerful stuff, Fee. Filled with sadness and longing for better days. I wonder if her trampled on soul and paid for lust could be saved by real love.
Just a thought,

Happy B.Day wishes Fee,

this story is angst and compassion all mixed in...the heart pains just knowing these abuses exist and the innocent victums they produce...all that human potential buried under shame, guilt, fear...a wasted lifetime...then there is the hope that some miracle would leap forward to reawaken the victum back onto its rightful place...but who are we to say...perhaps she shall touch the life of a client instead and provide "stardust" in some other meaningful way, and all was just as it was meant to be anyway...sigh...oops waxing philosophical here...best for me to let it go...
