Careless

When it's her birthday,
They don't care.
She wakes up and wonders..
Is this fair?

She doesn't know her rights,
She cannot sleep at night.
She lies in bed,
And listens to her parents fight.

Is this the life,
That you wanted for her?
It's not her fault,
You hate her Father!

Why can't you talk to her?
If you don't, it's wrong.
She only needs your love,
To stay strong.
