The Forgotten

They sit alone wishing the walls could hear their crying
They see the clock tick minute by minute, day by day
Another lonely day
As they continue to breathe
Nothing can numb this pain
They are forgotten and alone
The world moves on and the carousel goes up and down

She sits alone in a women’s shelter, as the unfamiliar noise keeps her scared
Trying to figure out how she ended up here
Her mind riddled with questions of what is next?
How can she be safe again?
Who will hear the depths of her soul’s pain?
She longs to start again 
and she continues to breathe
Nothing can numb this pain
She is forgotten and alone
The world spirals on and the carousel has thrown her off

They sit on the streets trying to stay warm
Someone offers a cloak
A kind word, or a brief smile, a bite to eat
The coldness of the night sets in
As they settle in
As they continue to breathe
Nothing can numb this pain
They are forgotten and alone
The world moves on and the carousel goes round and round 

The voices in their head tell them they are no good
The voices tell them they deserve no better
The voices scream they are not loved… not enough
They would be better off dead
As they continue to breathe
Nothing can numb this pain
They are forgotten and alone
The world moves on and the carousel goes slowly around

They have seen the winds of time cruelly take apart their soul
Their body fails and no end to the pain
They have lost their best friends
The pain is so great because their children have forgotten
Yet they continue to breathe
Nothing can numb this pain
They are forgotten and alone
The world goes on and the carousel grinds to a halt.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 5:3)
