Free At Last

I was once a child so many years ago
My innocence was stolen from me
I would never be the same again
My mother didn't believe me
And too frightened to tell anyone else
I lived in fear and shame
My brain no longer thought like that of a child
My soul became an adult long before it's time
When others thought of what games they would play
I thought of what books that I could become a part of
When others were playing with Barbie dolls
I was soaring with eagles high in the sky
Riding wild horses through the untamed land
No one could catch me I was too fast
In my mind I was free at last
