I have a secret
I kept for a long time
I hide the pain deep down
And pretend to be fine

This girl inside of me
She is dying to come out
She knows this happened
Beyond any doubt

It’s getting too hard to hide
I’m ready to let it out
This is not for sympathy
I just need to speak out

Every time I remember the pain,
I cry myself to sleep,
Emotions running insane,
For every prayer and wish to die,
For every tear I have ever cried

My broken soul
My shattered mind,
All my emotions intertwined
All the pain I feel inside
I’m the scared little girl that just wants to hide

I need to speak out
To free the victim inside
I was hurt by a boy,
I felt like his toy

My Innocence stolen, cuts so deep
On the cold floor, I did weep
I know this story all too well
I put up with him and all his hell

I blamed myself
For It can’t be true
Why would he want to hurt me
This just can’t be

I am ready to share my pain
And let go of my tears
I grew up too fast
Way beyond my years

This scared little girl would like someone to see
That this is my story
And I am no ones territory
