Invisible Child

Invisible Child It’s missing it’s missing its forever gone from me A thief came when I could not fully see And I was so small it was so easy to take I made a wish and blew out the candles on the cake It’s gone it’s gone for oh so long It’s a scar to far so deep too strong And it was so easy to take some more I played in the yard it came in through the door. Get in Get in some fun for you I can look and do as others do But I don’t know what is really right or wrong Screaming or yelling are both a song I painted my face and again I was gone He is here he is here beside me I wonder what he really sees His heart of love he tries to give I wonder now how long I will live A child a child came through me I will protect and he will not be Splintered and fractured by the thief I will tell the secret they made me keep So long so long where have all gone? I awoke again and was so aware What the thief had taken Because there is no one near I stood in the mirror and just stared I see I see I see me I hear I hear I hear me I know I know how it should have been But no one cared to see me way back then I made a wish and blew out the candles again
