I really hope this haunting ride through this young girls life is really fiction Karla! It is an amazing piece of writing. You say its in the category Hip Hop, I can just imagine this as an ubeat tempo. Mind you, with such a great story line, a slower mix might be better. You should send this off, artisit are always looking for good lycrics.

Karla, this Lady has a very difficult decision to make. If she keeps her past hidden, she has to made the decision over and over and over again. It will never go away. She should be judged by what she is today and what she has done with her life. If her beloved cannot accept what she tells him then is not her beloved. Her behaviour is from the past and should be left there. God bless you sweet Karla.
Hugs always xxxo Bill

Seems I recall a professor in college telling us that fiction has its roots in reality...if so this person has had a hard life, no doubt and this poem is a great piece of fiction...Peace, Ed & Rufuz

I agree with Sandie Angel ...I hope this really is FICTION! If any part of it is real, then God Bless You, Dear Karla ...anyone that could live through this is a true survivor! May peaceful days abound!

Oh Karla:

You said in the beginning it was a fiction, so I hope it was. What a sad story this is. No one has to go through this. If it was your real story, I'm glad of one thing that it has made you a strong lady now.

((((( Hugs )))))
