I love writing and I love sharing it with other people!
~Trapped~
A blue mark
placed on her face
No where to run
no where to escape.
Always in darkness
always alone
Not one place
to call her own.
The girl of 12
has to lie
Or else the consequence:
she will die.
The bruising continues
continues to show
The girl of 12
has no where to go.
She has family, but
they moved away
Left her with this man
forever she will stay.
The day is almost over
the night is sure to come
The little girl of 12
has no where to run.
Hiding under the sheets
hearing footsteps down the hall
The little girl of 12
is about to have her fall.
Thrown out of bed and
onto the flow
The little girl of 12
doesn't put up a fight anymore.
Loosing feeling
as she climbs back into bed
She gets under the sheets,
the next morning she will be dead.
She says a tiny prayer
telling God she loves him
and to her "family" asking,
"why did you leave me with him??".
The little girl of 12
silently awaits her death,
her world going black
as she breathes her last breath.

There is all kinds of good stuff in here, Jasmine. Keep writing and enjoying and sharing your work. Look at both good and negative feedback, honestly, then only take what feels right to you--the other way leads to writers block.
It's normal to doubt whether you are good or not. Even professionals do it.
Just write from your heart, and keep learning and practicing your craft...write to please yourself.
