A Poem by Colton Warr

"And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness" secret riches. I will do this so you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, the one who calls you by name." Isaiah 45:3 

I heard a story of the most forsaken girl 

Born into a world of darkness 

She never had her own world 

Sold at a different type of market 

I heard a story of the most betrayed girl 

Sold off by her own father into the arms of the unknown 

What they did would make even the strongest of men cringe and curl 

Did their work and then cast her aside like a stone 

I heard a story of the most broken girl

What they did left her bruised and blind, decimated and deaf

A story of a cracked pearl 

But something intervened, a friend, a ref 

I heard a story of the most courageous woman

The true father intervened 

He said she could when she said she couldn't 

Once dirtied by the devil, the messiah has cleaned 

I heard a story of the most empowering woman

Now walking in the midst of the true faith

Hand in her fathers, she believed when others wouldn't 

It is now that she is saved 

I heard a story of the most enduring woman

Now she speaks her story to others 

Because we are all but only human

Her words a crusade for those who still suffer

I heard a story of the most precious girl 

She had been beautifully broken 

But I heard her sing, her voice rocked my world

I heard her sing, now God has spoken 

Author's Note

This poem tells the story of a girl I recently met a few days ago. She was sexually trafficked by her father. Abused and broken down, Blinded and deafened by a forceful overdose at the age of 2, literally caged by her father and only brought out when it was time for her to perform, you would think that there would be no hope, no light to runaway the encroaching darkness. But there was. I am not as religious as I probably should be, but hearing her story, and how broken and beaten down she was, and then hearing how she got back up, rose from the ashes and fire, and created a new life for herself with the help of God and an amazing ministry has changed me. This was the result of a rapid reaction from her telling me her story. When she finished, she picked up a guitar and started playing and singing for me. She had the voice of an Angel. I hope you guys enjoy!

I'm not a religious person, but I do believe that those who believe in 'god' gives them hope and strength to carry on when they need it most. A beautiful poem that touches the soul and is very emotional to read.. This poem for me highlights the importance of belief and how this helps to carry on and over come life and its struggles. Loved reading this poem! Most Excellent indeed!

I wish I had your faith. Someone to turn to when I am down. I just have a hard time believing in that which has no form. Does god forgive those are proof driven? I've done little hame in this world. Great poem.

Thank you very much, Jaspar! I'm glad you enjoyed this piece and could feel the faith within its words. Believe me, my friend, it is still hard for me at times to believe that there is a force out there that is greater than that of natures, but I am am shown miracles like Allie and I cannot deny the truth. I pray that you find this light in your life as well! Thank you so much for reading these words! I hope they inspired you!

This poem has moved me. The emotions behind your words were so real for me, that it almost looked like I was in her shoes. You are an amazing person, for you give the humanity that everyone believes in some hope and love. I am glad that she lives a 'human' life now, for she was being treated as an object. With this poem, you have made her existence more known the world. For she deserves to be treated as a human with an existent status. I hate traffickers, they are one of the most inhuman beings in the universe. They are the pure embodiment of evil. As long as there is hope, one can even recover from the most painful past. This poem is a masterpiece and it showed that you are one of the most talented human beings in the universe.

Good job :D
