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
