Childhood abuse is one of the
worst nightmeres anyone can endure. It causes servere Mental Illnesses later in life and adds highly to the numbers of homeless
on our streets. The young girl in the story, the poem below is my cousin and the reason I began to work with Street
Kids and LoveCry
A
young girl kills herself.
Angel Femia
A young girl goes to school
She is upset and very hurt
While at school her Guidance Councilor
asks her
What is so wrong?
The young girl tries to explain
As tears run down her face and every
part of her shook
My grandfather touched me
Where the councilor asks?
The young girl points to her private
parts
The this young girl fell apart
The guidance councilor calls the
police
The grandfather is charged
During the search the police did
not find
The grandfather’s heart medicine,
that was in his pocket
Nitro Glycerin, (a full prescription)
The grandfather swallows every pill
Later the guards at the jail find
him dead
Lying on the floor in his jail cell
At the funeral the young girl was
sitting quietly
Her aunt comes towards her to talk
Suddenly there was yelling, angry
words and blame
All this was benign directed towards
this young girl
It got louder and louder
The young girl’s parents came
to her rescue
Her aunt continued yelling
She began to throw the insults and
blame at the parents
By this time the young girl was
hysterically crying
The young girl had an emotional
breakdown
The young girl was hospitalized
for a long time
One weekend the young girl was given
a pass
Glad to be going to see her parents
and brother
When she got there the memories
returned
The nightmares of her grandfather
molesting her
The horrid scene in the funeral
home
The young girl got so upset
Before the young girl left the hospital
she was given her medicine
Enough to last the entire weekend
The young girl kept taking her pills
but she was not following the prescript
The young girl took them all
Then the young girl went o the basement
and found some liter fluid
The young girl poured the fluid
all over the floors and furniture
Then lit a match
This young girl was only thirteen
years old
Her mother and father were burned
badly and almost died
They spent years in recovery
Her brother had a few burns but
was ok
The young girl died!!!
