The Little Girl
There's a little girl inside me who wants to be out
I can hear her scream, I can hear her shout
I know to you this may sound absurd
But the little girl desperately wants to be heard
He silenced her so many years ago
Now she wants everyone to know
To know how he came into her room at night
To know she was so little she didn't know how to fight
She told about him once before
But there were issues she chose to ignore
There were other things she didn't reveal
If she didn't talk about it, it wasn't real
But now she is ready to reveal
She needs you to know how he made her feel
She needs you to know how he sinned
And changed her life with his perversion
She wants to be able to live the life he stole
She wants to be able to just feel whole
She wants to be normal like everybody else
She wants to be able to love herself
