Innocence Shattered

Where did innocence go
The hope of life, snuffed out
Who could ever tell
The damage that was done

Did she have to do it
The evil deed she did
Innocence was shattered
a confusing adult world

How could she take from me
The hope for my potential
How can I get it back?
the hope that is mine

I want to get it back
This life mine, not hers
Who can help me to see
To live this life for me

My potential is a blessing
A gift from God himself
No-one takes it from me
Not even the devil himself
