No Child of Yours<br /><br />I saw a child hide in the corner<br />So I went and asked her name<br />She was so naive and so petite<br />With such a tiny frame. <br /><br />'No one,' she replied, that's what I am called<br />I have no family, no one at all<br />I eat, I sleep, I get depressed<br />There is no life, I have nothing left.'<br /><br />'Why hide in the corner?' I had to ask twice<br />Because I've been hurt, it not very nice<br />I tried to stop it, it was out of my control<br />I feared for myself I wanted to go. <br /><br />I begged for my sorrow to disappear<br />I turned in my bed, oh God, I knew they were near<br />'So come on little girl, where do you go<br />A path ahead, or a path to unknown?'<br /><br />With that she arose, her head hung low<br />She held herself for only she knows<br />Her tears held back, her heart like ice<br />It looks as though she has paid the price.<br /><br />The ice started melting, her tears to flow<br />The memories flood back, still so many years to go<br />The pain, the anger all built up inside<br />Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.<br /><br />It will get better, just wait and see<br />You'll get a life, though you'll never be fire<br />Open your heart and love yourself<br />The abuse you suffered was NOT your fault.
