About this ebook
Sharon M. Maben
Sharon “Shay” Maben was born April 29, 1978 in Portsmouth Virginia, the oldest of 6 children. As a child, she would often daydream about escaping the harsh realities of life. She didn't really have an outlet or any means of release other than to write about those experiences that she had gone through. In college, she continued writing and received many complements on her works. In 2003, she was published in the poetry collection, "The Colors of Life." Though poetry for you may be considered fiction, but for her it's reality. It's the reality seen by her eyes!

THE SAD FACE…
There was a little girl who’d passed away;
her father had abused her day by day.
He drank a lot of liquor and smoked lots of pot;
Rapes, burns, and beatings are what she got.
She didn’t have a mother; her mother was dead.

I didn’t know what to do, yet something was wrong.
Then, I saw her drunken father pushing her along;
Get Back In That House! You have no need outside;
the little girl looked at me and I felt such pain inside.
From that moment I knew, she needed all my help;
