She lost it
Before
She could treasure it
Her innocence
Stolen
Judged
Harshly in the moment
A victim
Suddenly out of focus
She treasured it
Before
She could lose it
Her innocence
Appropriated
Reticent
Harshly in the community
A survivor
Suddenly in focus
She claimed it
Before
She could prove it
Her innocence
Protected
Cherished
Harshly in the environment
A child
Suddenly in focus
