Innocence taken without warning

left alone, broken and torn.

Scared to speak up, scared to be shunned,

Don't tell a soul, don't let them see the ugly truth.

Fine on the outside,

Dying on the inside.

At night, reliving the nightmare in my mind

wishing someone would help.

 

Roaming the earth ashamed of what was done,

what was taken away.

Forced into silence, wishing someone new,

wishing someone would help.

 

Crying in pain from my open wounds that won't heal,

the horrific memories I can't shake.

Will ending everything help those memories go away?

All I want is for someone to help.

 

Fighting sor my sanity, fighting to be loved.

Why am I still here, why must I still live?

Hoping someone sees me,

hoping they see my pain .

 

"Hi.. are you okay? Tell me what's wrong?"

Finally, I am free,

finally someone cares.

Everything I hoped for, everything I wanted.

Hope is what keeps us alive.
