Analysis of Her Silent Cry

Chereon Camp 1986 (Granite City, IL)



She was playing in her yard the day she was taken, mom thought it was a dream, but was quickly awaken.

By the screams of her young, terrified daughter which quickly alerted her sleeping father.

The perpetrator’s sped off without a care in the world, mom cried from knowing the destiny of her little girl.

She knew the evil her daughter was about to endure, grown men paying top dollar for something pure.

She was only five when her innocence became a cost, chained to the bed daily, feeling confused and lost.

All of her dreams had completely shattered, all hope was lost, and being rescued no longer mattered.

She encountered several forced abortions, wanting to have a baby to love became a misfortune.

By the age of 16 she helped groom new victims, and understood the harsh reality of the justice system.

She became useless for customers as she got older, the dealer became infuriated and decided to sell her.

She made a decision that would change her world, by developing an escape plan for the other girls.

She fell to her knees, knowing it was time to die, blood trickled down her face.

As she released her final silent cry
