Robins POV 7 Years Old At Jump Schools Playground!
I saw a girl, who was in my class, walk over to the bench, then sat down. Her name was Raven Roth, she was seven years old like me. She had longish black hair, and beautiful purple eyes. She always wore pants, and long sleeved t-shirts, or a jacket. She smartest, quietest, and prettiest girl in class...wait did I just think prettiest? I guess I did. I shook my head quickly getting out of my daydream, and I saw Raven looking at the sky. I could tell she was sad, so I decided to go talk to her. Her head snapped up when she noticed me. I said hi and she returned it. Her voice was pretty, I never noticed that before.
My little girl met a new friend
Just the other day
On the playground at school
Between the tires and the swings
I talked to her for a little while and we ended up in between the tires and the swings. The teacher came a minute later outside and told the class it was time to go inside. As we walked over to the teacher, and got in line, I asked her one question.
"Are we friends?" She looked at me happily and nodded her head before grabbing my hand and dragging me into the classroom.
But she came home with tear-filled eyes
And she said to me "Daddy, Alyssa lies"
Well I just brushed it off at first
Cause I didn't know how much
My little girl had been hurt
Raven started to tell me some stories about her life at home. They were all really sad. There would only be one or two that were happy, the others were so sad. When I went home my mom and dad asked me about my day. I said I made a new friend, Raven, described her talked all about her. But I didn't tell them any of her sad stories, upon her request that they stay hidden from adult eyes, and ears. My parents however, knew II wasn't saying the whole truth, so when they insisted I tell it, I said simply. Raven lies. I knew they would brush it off at first, since they didn't know how much those two words hurt me.
Or the things she had seen
I wasn't ready when I said
"You can tell me"
They didn't know the things I saw...they weren't pretty either. They made my heart break in two whenever I saw her arms, legs, and stomach.
And she said
Alyssa lies
To the classroom
Alyssa lies
Everyday at school
Alyssa lies
To the teachers
As she tries to cover every bruise
Raven lies to everyone in the school. Everyone except me. And that's only because I'm her best and only friend.
My little girl laid her head down
Last night to go to sleep
As I stepped out the room
I heard her say
A prayer so soft and sweet
God bless mom and my dad
And my new friend Alyssa
I know she needs you bad
I gave Raven prayers everynight now. So that hopefully god would have mercy. One day I asked mom and dad what child abuse was. I only asked cause the teacher asked Raven if she was being abused. I knew her dad was hurting her. But Raven denied it saying that she got the bruises from climbing trees. I knew it was a lie, but I kept my mouth shut. My parents had asked me why I wanted to know, and I said simply that the teacher said something about it. But didn't explain what it was. When they fully explained it to me, I realised the real danger Raven was in.
Cause Alyssa lies
To the classroom
Alyssa lies
Everyday at school
Alyssa lies
To the teachers
As she tries
To cover every bruise
When I saw Raven the next day, I told her to tell the teachers of her getting abused. She said no. That her dad would kill her if she did. She was scared, and that scared me. But Raven was my best-est friend in the whole wide world. And I didn't want her to feel like she was in pain. I went home feeling terrible.
I had the worst night of sleep in years
As I tried to think of ways
To calm her fears
I knew just what it was I had to do
But when we got to school on Monday
I heard the news
I couldn't sleep, I kept thinking of Raven. Something inside me told me to speak up, so I did. I told my parents and they were shocked. They immediately called for someone to go and help her.
My little girl asked me why
Everybody looked so sad
The lump in my throat grew bigger
With every question that she asked
Until I felt the tears run down my face
And I told her that Alyssa
Wouldn't be at school today
The next day, the school got a call from the Stop Child Abuse Agency and said that Raven...had been injured. I asked my parents why everyone was sad about that. (A/N the school got the call as soon as it opened and they told the Grayson family about it first) They said it was because Raven had to be put through a lot of torture, before the child services got there. I felt tears run down my face. I knew she wouldn't be at school today, but I thought at least she was alive.
Cause she doesn't lie
In the classroom
She doesn't lie
Anymore at school
Alyssa lies
With Jesus
Because there's nothing
Anyone would do
She doesn't lie to the classroom, teachers, school, or Jesus anymore. Raven she's finally been set free. And I was the one who let her free, from the prison she was encaged in.
Tears filled my eyes
When my little girl asked me
Why?
Alyssa lies
Daddy tell me
Why?
Alyssa lies
I saw her a week later at school. She was bandaged up a little and I had to help her carry her stuff, but she was safe. I learned that Victor Stones family adopted her. Which made me happier cause he was a really good friend of mine to. I was happy about a couple of things know, I realized. 1) Raven was healthy and happy. 2) I could play with her whenever I wanted to. And 3) the most important reason...Raven doesn't lie.
