They thought she was a loser <br />and they laughed at all her pain. <br />They chose to just ignore her <br />when she started to complain. <br /> <br />They took her so deep under <br />that she wondered if she'd live. <br />Then she heard a voice inside her <br />say she had so much to give. <br /> <br />They did just what they wanted. <br />They could hurt her everyday. <br />They could say she'll never make it <br />but she knew she'd break away. <br /> <br />They left her how they liked her <br />as she curled up in a ball. <br />Of course she couldn't stand up, <br />she was so very small. <br /> <br />The one thing that they gave her <br />was her faith she had in prayer. <br />That's all she ever needed <br />to begin her life out there. <br /> <br />They didn't know the favor <br />they had done for her instead. <br />They made her a survivor <br />when they left her there for dead.<br /><br />Mary Nagy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/left-for-dead-2/
