See the small girl
Why is she crying?
No one can see her-
Quietly dying...

Buried in shame,
She tries not to own.
Why does her heart
Always feel so alone?

She wears a fake smile,
so nobody knows,
That hiding inside,
Lives a pain that just grows.

Her childhood is lost now-
there's no going back,
Feels like her whole world
is under attack.

Can't other people
Look at her and tell-
That she's living
In a silent hell.

She has been ravaged,
Alone and abused.
Trusting in grown ups-
That trust's been misused.

Won't someone help her?
She bleeds where she's lying.
Doesn't anyone see that
She's quietly dying...?
