A Child's Plea
Somewhere in the dark or in the light of day
When no one was around he'd hurt her so
She couldn't speak, so no one heard this child's plea
Too afraid to speak, only in her mind could she cry and beg
He used her as he wished, no one heard her plea
"Please make him stop" in her mind she would scream
So many times, silenced by fear, no one heard this child's plea
A man she loved, though he was not her real "daddy"
She thought she was bad, and no one heard her plea
Even now as an adult, a survivor
she carries this pain and those memories still
Still hurting from back then,
When no one heard this child's plea
