Shattered Dreams
You could see the pain inside her
A child old beyond her years
And the story of her life
Would bring the coldest man to tears.
She could not control her anger
Often turning into rage
From a life of pain and sorrow
Another day, another page.
She didn't know how to reach out
Or express her feelings well
It is difficult to trust someone
When your life's a living hell.
When you grow up seeing love as
Something filled with hurt and shame
Now it's time to start your own life
Will you reach out for the same?
It's hard to change the cycle
To get better, not get worse
When love has never been a blessing
It has always been a curse.
