The Girl You Once Knew

 The Girl You Once Knew


She was beauty it's self. 

She was everything you could ask for. 

She was happiness, she was love

She was pain but she understood. 


She stood by you. 

She stayed with you.

She loved you and cared for you. 

She was the girl you knew. 

The girl you had fallen for. 


What happened now? 

Where did all the laughter and happiness go? 

Where did all the joy you shared go to? 

She isn't your happiness anymore. 

Of course she didn't make you happy. 

You only wanted something else.


Your words were all she needed. 

All she wanted was you. 

But then, you did the unthinkable. 

How do you feel now? 

Happy? 

But you don't know her anymore. 


One day you'll realize, She was the girl you were once happy with. 

The girl you once fell in love with. 

The girl you cherished. 

The girl you once knew.

 It was nightfall. I felt a grip on my neck. Then a soft whisper. It was him.  "Shh." Anthony said.  "No, please. Not again." I whimpered. Mom and Dad weren't around and now he had an opportunity.  "Please why can't you understand you're my brother?" I cried.  Anthony had been very fond of me ever since I was a little girl. But then my brother was taking advantage of me, sexually.  I had had enough. I was tired. I never told our parents about it. I was determined to stop this.  "Let me go, Anthony. Please."  "I love you so much, Anita. So so much. I wish you were never my sister." He said and kissed my cheek. I grabbed a pen from my lamp stand and struggled with him.  "You've always been mine, Anita. You're mine." He said.  "Not anymore!" I screamed and struck.  The pen got to his eye.  "Argh." He screamed and staggered.  I stood, grabbed my car keys and ran. I needed the police.  "...

"You're getting too fat." "Your stomach wasn't like this last year." "Why are you so slim?" Hey hey hey. Are you done? Yeah, you wanna talk to people about their shape or size but can you be more polite? What harm will it cause you to be polite? Besides, it's their body and they decide on what to do with it. It's left to you to give them an advice or two on how to keep fit than to mock them about how they look. Y'all talking about their clothes, get em new ones. Y'all talking about their shoes, get em new ones. Stop making people feel bad about how they look. Instead encourage them and guide them than making mockery of them. Ella ❤💞
