“Baby girl was molested and abused
She grew up hurt and confused
What does love mean to her
Especially if “I love you” was followed by abuse
She’s been quiet for so long
Hiding behind anger and sadness
It’s now time, for this inner child to speak her truth
All she needed was someone to listen to her, as she confessed all that she’s been through
Instead her silence was taken for granted
So she started acting out in school
Anything to get anyone to ask her “What is wrong with you?”
That day never came, so in order to stay sane she listened to music, that was her getaway
Take me anywhere, that’s not here is what she would say to herself as she made away to mask her true feelings
She became numb to feeling
Seeking out a way to feel less empty, she pick up weed and started to smoke heavy
It took her pain away, temporary pain, blacked out all those rainy days
So she can see there’s better days
Where she can be heard by the ones she loves,
It really be the ones you hold close
They overlook you when you need them the most
That inner child just wanted someone to tell her “everything will be alright it’s not your fault you went through all of that, put down ya fists you don’t need to fight. You’re voice is heard!” So that she can sleep at night.”
