It was a normal Saturday. I was in a good mood and happy somewhat. I did my normal things like practicing my jujitsu and magick. When my best friend Krista called me up. I was happy when I heard her name because I hadn't heard from her in a while. I thought it was going to be a normal conversation, but it was something worse. I got on the phone and she was crying. I asked her what's wrong? What's going on? Please tell me. I'm here for you. She told me that she couldn't stand life because her boyfriend beat her and she was always fighting with her family. I told her that she can always come up to my place but she said it was alright. That she wasn't needed here anymore. Why I said but she wouldn't tell me. I heard her pick something up and it was a gun. Krista?! What are you doing?! She still wouldn't speak because she started to cry again. After a few minutes she slowed the crying and her final words were exactly this "Your the greatest friend anyone can ever have. I hope your life is well lived and I love you as a sister. I'll be watching over you and protecting you always". I heard the gun go off and that was the last of us speaking to each other. I dropped the cell phone and backwards crying and having a nervous break down. I tried to be happy on Sunday, Monday, and today. It's not easy because I had my second break down Sunday night and I almost had another one today. I now know that your life can change or be taken at any second.I hope you can understand this because I now know how it is.
This is a very sad thing to read, but if you have a heart, please read it.
It's from a thread that was posted today ("Child Abuse" in the Sandbox section), and if that thread is not up when you read this, please copy and paste this to your journal - believe me, many other people have, and for good reason. This broke my heart reading it, but it is important. There is no lower creature than one who abuses a child.
She was only five
This is what happened
When she was alive...
Her dad was a drunk
Her mom was an addict
Her parents kept her
Locked in an attic
Her only friend
was a little toy bear
It was old and worn out
And had patches of hair
She always talked to it
When no one's around
She lays there and hugs it
Not a peep of sound
Until her parents
unlock the door
Some more and more pain
She'll have to endore
A bruise on her leg
A scar on her face
Why would she be
In such a horrible place?
But she grabs her bear
And softly crys
She loves her parents
But they want her to die
She sits in the corner
Quiet but thinking,
"Please God, why is
My life always sinking? "
Such a bad life
For a sad little kid
She'd get beaten and beaten
For anything she did
Then one night
Her mom came home high
And the poor child was beaten
As hours went by
Then her mom suddenly
Grabbed for a blade
It was sharp and pointy
One that she made
She thrusted the blade
Right in her chest,
"You deserve to die
You worthless pest!"
The mom walked out
Leaving the girl slowly dieing
She grabbed her bear
And again started crying
Police showed up
At the small little house
Then quickly barged in
Everything quiet as a mouse
One officer slowly
Opened a door
To find the little girl
Lieing on the floor
It must have been bad
To go through so much harm
But at least she died
With her best friend in her arms
A child dies every day from child abuse. And if you have an ounce of pity in you for little Auroura and you hate child abuse with a passion you will repost this in your journal and help out those abused children and let them know that someone cared for them. It doesn't take that long only about 10 seconds so please just do it
