The story of a six year old

This was supposed to be a story of a 6 year old
About how she was like any other 6 year old ...
Special and ordinary in her own way

This was supposed to be a story of a 6 year old
Of how she was energy , laughter,life, tantrums and lessons woven together.
Of how she used could never sit quietly ...no 6 year old does these days

I don't know her really , but I do imagine her
I see her running back to her father spotting a cockroach
Hiding her little face in those broad shoulders and laughing at herself ...if you listen carefully , you can hear the chuckles
This was supposed to be a story of a 6 year old girl ....learning,forgetting,hugging,fighting ,loving ...being loved...maybe just like you and me... This was a story of a 6 year old

Instead, this is a story of how life was trampled when it had completed only 6 years.
Instead ,this is a story of how she was touched, scratched,groped, forced ....

Instead this is a story of her shrieks ...were they allowed? shrieks with questions ....seeking answers, seeking justice . This is a story of how those shrieks were silenced ...how the eyes were silenced.If you listen carefully, you can still hear that silence. But make sure you cover your ears because there is nothing more deafening.

This was supposed to be a story of a 6 year old girl.
Instead,it became a dark memory.
