Losing Her

She's haunted by her past,
The little girl she used to be
Before her world came crashing down
She once lived happily.

She was walking across a road one day,
When her innocence was shattered,
The screech of breaks, the thud as she was hit,
She finally saw what mattered.

Her mother screamed, her sister cried,
Her brother held her hand.
A strangers kindness brought her help.
But no one would understand.

The little girl that I once was,
She died that fateful day.
But no one seemed to realise,
It had affected me that way.
