Beauty Raped Within

It must be hard To be soooo beautiful... That all everyone sees Is your outside They want to touch And rape The physical beauty of who you are They do not want to see The inside The beauty within... The shy quiet strength The strong sudden passions The small child Who cries out in the night or day And no one hears her The innocence lost... At the hands of the one Who claimed to have loved her That same child Tries to rise above And conquer the DEMONS within... She wants to be strong But the heart inside of her Is only a child It is weak And it only wants to be protected Mother, where are you? Father, why can't you love me? And let me, be me Why must you steal my childhood? Why must you make me be The living DEAD A murdered tortured soul Forced to walk around Inside of a DEAD body
