I very well stood that this was fiction, however, it does make a valid point about what happens to young people when they run away from home and don't have a way to support themselves other than to do the things that this young lady did. I wish you the very best with all of your writing. May God bless you and may God keep our children safe from this kind of thing. Patricia.

We went on a mission to Cambodia to help in the rescue of children from slavery in in the fleshpots of Bangkok, it's a hard gig for many reasons, they train them in honest professions because they sell their kids because that are so poor, beautifully written Pam, blessings Roy

Comment from Begin Again
Your poem doesn't speak for itself; IT SCREAMS AT THE TOP OF ITS LUNGS for each of us to listen and not turn a blind eye to what's happening to our children out there in this big, scary world. It was not meant to be part of their lives, but the desire to grow up and do adult things took them down the wrong path and destroyed all sense of childhood and life. Your story is sad and heartbreaking but so true.
Hugs, Carol

Well that certainly cheered me up this morning. (NOT).
Such a despicable hard life for some poor soul. The world certainly is a cruel place.
A very well written poem with excellent rhyme. Cheers. Jen.

Comment from karenina
This is a societal scourge that plagues far too many women. Human trafficking is so much more prevalent than people think. You give us an unvarnished view of life as chattel...
Excellent rhyme and meter that you skillfully master to lend more emotional gravitas to this plight!

Wow this is one sad piece of work. Your author's notes are right on the money your poem says it all and stands on its own. Very nice job. Thank you for sharing.

I work with a local group that tries to rescue people from human trafficking. It would surprise most of us to know how prevalent this is. Thank you for your poem.

Comment from Michele Harber
The sad part is this is only fictional in terms of the specific character, but not in terms of the scenario you describe. As always, you do your descriptions well, bringing out both the horror and the pathos in the situation.
I definitely think you're becoming the FanStory expert on the abab cdcd rhyme scheme, which can be very difficult to maintain. You make it look easy.

You wrote a very powerful piece on a very scary happening in today's world. It is everywhere and more people need to be made aware of it and what to look for when out in the world shopping, etc. Thanks for drawing attention to it.
