Abuse Shocked Her Into a Shell
Every day she kept trying
To find someone to confide in
About her secrets so dark
Being kept away and locked
Deep inside so no one sees
How much she wants them to flee
And give her some peace for once
But there's not a single hunch
This will happen any time
Her life's been a shameful crime
Since that day when he walked in
Making her do a bad sin
That no little girl should know
Affecting her life as she grows
Into a woman who can't function
When it comes to a love junction
Because she is hurt and scarred
When her father went too far
Showing love that isn't right
Months and months into the night
He controlled her every action
For his selfish satisfaction
That could never seemed to end
Over and over again
She would lay there silently
As he raped her violently
This in not where she belonged
With a father who did wrong
To his little girl who cried
As she's being gagged and tied
Left defenseless and so weak
While he got to his hard peak
Exploding on his baby girl
Who should have been his whole world
It was hard for her to trust
Thinking back on all the lust
That made her scared to find love
So she would just push and shove
Every man who tried to give
Her a new reason to live
Until her wall was finally broken
By the sweet and kind words spoken
By someone who could just tell
There's a soul behind that shell
That's been crawled up in a ball
Love was at a halted stall
Till she was finally set free
From her darkened history
So new days can now begin
Never sliding back again
