(a poem with a lesson and a warning
sadly based on fact)
Today is my birthday I'm thirteen years old
I can't wait to meet some new guys
I'll get on the Internet and find that place
where kids can go and share their lives.
Here it is, I found it -Wow! This web site looks so cool
it says I have to register and give myself a name
Hmmm...how about something cute (in case I meet a boy)
I know –I'll be 'sexy-girl', that'll blow his brain!
Right away I got a message from someone called 'lover_boy'
"Hey sexy-girl, you sound real cute, and by the way, how old are you?"
"I just turned thirteen today's my birthday."
"What a blast! I'm thirteen too!"
I can't believe I met a boy the very same age as me
I wonder if he'd send me a picture today?
"Hey lover_boy, can you send me a picture and I'll send one back to you?"
"Sure, sexy-girl, give me your e-mail, I'll send it right away."
My heart was pounding in my chest I couldn't wait to see his face.
Was this really happening? It seems like a dream.
I clicked the attachment, my eyes glued to the screen,
and there he was the cutest boy this girl had ever seen!
I sent my picture back to him just like I said I would
please, let him think I'm pretty and feel the way I feel.
It seemed forever before he wrote and in bold, black letters he said to me,
"sexy-girl, let's meet for real!
I didn't know you'd look so hot we live right near each other
let's make a secret date, you know how parents are."
"Okay, I won't tell my mom or dad
where do you want to meet, there's lots of places not too far?"
"I know a place where no one goes it's in the woods by the highway
I'll bring soda, you bring snacks, how does that sound?"
"It's way too cool and I can't wait let's meet on Saturday at seven o'clock,
just follow the path through the woods straight to the old picnic ground."
I got to the woods before seven and waited nervously,
it sure was quiet and scary there wasn't a soul in sight.
Then suddenly, I heard footsteps -he didn't forget after all
I was so excited to meet him..this was my lucky night!
"Hello sexy-girl, It's your lover_boy and see, I came right on time."
I turned..but gripped with fear I didn't recognize that face!
He's as old as my daddy he's not the boy in the picture,
he's not the one who wrote to me, the one I met on My Space.
I just turned thirteen.. I was so excited
I just wanted to meet new friends and find a boyfriend to call my own.
I thought I found someone to love who thought that I was special too
But I won't see another birthday..I won't be going home...
