A Child Within
Yearns to be free
From ghosts and goblins
She cannot see.
A child within
Has no voice.
It was lost
When she had no choice.
A child within
Will not cry.
If she does
She will die.
A child within
Lost her way
And continues missing
To this day.
Will you help
A child within?
Or turn away
Once again?
