Describe a world where dreams lay farther than pain

Ways of excuses for that inappropriate way

Hoping and praying for that little girl's escape

How can that be a piece of the puzzle
How can that be a piece of her way

To be only eight and know the pain of a sick grown up way

We read a book called A Time To Kill in a stories into film class and that inspired me to write a poem about what the poor little girl had to deal with.
