How Do You Tell a Mother...

How do you tell a mother
Her daughter is in so much pain?
How do you tell a mother
Her daughter feels she has nothing left to gain?

How do you tell a mother
Her daughter cries herself to sleep at night?
How do you tell a mother
Her daughter's world don't seem right?

How do you tell a mother
Her daughter don't feel loved?
How do you tell a mother
Her daughter feels her soul is gone?

How do I tell you mommie
I'm in so much pain?
How do I tell you mommie 
I want to feel happy again?

This sounds so much like me 2 years ago, I thought it was so hard to tell her how much I was breaking inside. This was a beautiful write touched me. Blessings ~Michaela~
