Help
Born into a life of wonder and exploring
Her parents she looks up to
Curious mind roaring her parent adoring
What she doesn’t know her faith she would soon lose
Years grew old as the child grown
And her father gives her these looks
Her mother wonders but should have know
In husband mind what cooks
Mother works hard day by day
Father sits and waits
Father and child they play all day
But by then it would be late
“Daddy please don’t hurt me, get off!”
Her voice yells with fright
“Only one time I swear”
He doesn’t really care
Next morning comes she wants to die
“Mommy why won’t
her breath
Close her eyes and you believe me”
“Oh, darling why would you lie?”
Believe me “why?” cries
Days go one and months go by
No one believe her she can’t go one
She grabs her dad’s gun, she begins to cry
That father trust is beyond gone
She cocks the gun and holds dreams
Pulls the trigger and it bring death
And the heaven light beams
She was raped and it ended her life
Because no one listened to her
Her life cut short as if by a knife
This happened all the time
Just listen to the cry
