Life Goes On
A little girl
With a grown up mind
She always felt
Like she was left behind
In a world so broad
She was all alone
The last place to go
Was her broken home
She couldn't love
She couldn't cry
All she could do
Was stare at the sky
She would wish
Every single day
That someone would come
And take the pain away
The girl grew up
With a very hard life
And now she's gonna be
Someone's wife
She can't go on
Something's not there
She doesn't want to live
Forever in fear
That sad little girl
Is the only thing in her mind
As she thinks again
About being left behind
A beautiful girl
So ugly inside
Every one seen her strength
Though all she did was hide
Hide from her fear
Hide from her past
Hide from the world
She always came last
She found the missing piece
But couldn't put it into place
There was one last thing
She needed to face
There was a woman
To whom she must speak
But the thought of that talk
Made her weak
How to tell her
Words of hate
Words of resentment
The girl is irate
The woman ran away
Never even looking back
Not caring what she left behind
All she wanted was more crack
The woman destroyed her life
And pulled the world down too
That girl is me
And that woman is you
