    This poem is powerful and heartbreaking knowing that there are baby girls in our streets. 😢

    Damn… that was really sad. The story telling was captivating.

    Here from TikTok. I was baby girl, but not lost to the streets til much older. This hit every trauma button I think I have. Everyone hears poems like this and say how it speaks to them but then when they see people like me, addicted to drugs with too many traumas to count and lost to the streets, they sneer in disgust and recoil. So please remember that we were once little girls full of potential.

      I’m sorry that has been your experience. Truly. But you’re still here. You still have a purpose. You still can make a difference in your own life and in the lives of many you can reach with your story and testimony. I believe in you. I love you.
