Gone forever
never to be the same
racked with confusion
guilt and shame
Crying on the inside
where no one can hear
the burden of a secret
always living in fear
Fear from trust
fear from friends
such a young child
could never make amends
She did nothing wrong
so they would say
the child inside
about to be locked away
Her smile hides the pain
but look into her eyes
too young to comprehend
the meaning of the lies
She tells herself it will be ok
everything will be cool
all she needs to do
is stop feeling like a fool
All through life
seeking, searching,
filled with so much hope
many times she can't cope
Relationships fail
she's used and abused
never feeling good enough
constantly being bruised
A vicious cycle
so hard to get out
she doesn't know how
too afraid to scream or shout
Such a good girl
a pure hearted soul
perhaps someday, someone
can make her feel whole
Always feeling ashamed
her childhood lost
who can save me...
free me...
love me...
