Easy For Others To Say

A rattling train, a flying fist,
A lonely cheek waiting to be kissed,
A solemn promise, a sacred vow,
Thinking what have I done now?
Life can be good - for some,
others just keep mum,
Angry words, violent hands and feet,
makes life hard and 
needs to be beat.
But that's easy for others to say,
They don't see it day after day,
Your spirits low, hides away,
Brick wall built to keep them at bay,
Love and care your middle name,
A prince will come to wake them again.
