While She's being murdered

by Chelsey   Nov 4, 2009


As I lay in my bed all cozy and warm
Branches hit the window from the treacherous storm
I'm safe, doors locked, I set the alarm
Dad's home, so I know I'm far from being in harm

I shut off the light, pray to the Lord my soul to keep
Close my eyes and count on 8 hours of good sleep
And always in the back of my mind, I think of those girls
Raped, murdered, abused somewhere in this world

While She's being murdered I'm in my cozy nook
I think of all those lives those disgusting men have took
Thrown in dumpsters, rivers, buried alive
Breaks my heart and tears me up inside

While She's being murdered I go on with my life
A soul now off to heaven, a mother, daughter, and a wife
They blind fold her, pull her hair, beat her like shes meat
Stuff a sock in her mouth, bind her hands and feet

While She's being murdered and he leaves her there to die
I can't help but question it, please tell me God why?
I lay in silence in my bed as innocent girls are taken away
I ask God to keep me safe and allow me to make it another day

    Very interesting poem. You did a very good work in transposing feelings of despondency to a very absorbing poem.

    Well written full off emotion. It's sad to think of it like this but lie goes on even though at times we question why. Wonderful, sad piece, 5/5. Em

    Why do people do these things indeed..a very good question..

    My feeling on this, is that there are many people in this world who have emotional problems, created during their own childhood, or inherited..and when they do not get the right treatment, they go around killing/ abusing innocent people.
    There should be more awareness and people should not be so afraid to report strange behaviour, even when it involves a child...when it is detected in time, some mental deseases may be cured or kept under control with medicines.

    You wrote this really well, it was worth my time, very much so.

    God bless,

    5/5 Ingrid

    Poetically I found the flow off a bit, but as I got into it I realized it kind of has a musical feel to it and if I sang it, that problem actually went away lol I thought it was a great dark subject that really makes you stop and think about life and what we really have, it also hopefully makes you want to put yourself out there and help someone who doesn't have that. Great write Chelsey, I really enjoyed it.
