Little Girl Gone

I see a little girl unlovable to all. I see an unforgiving world waiting to see her fall. I see a little girl unwanted by most. I see a tormented mind with a devilish host. I see a little girl who has always been so strong. I see the demons who have stolen her life song. I see a little girl yearning to belong. I see the friends and family who tell her she is wrong. I see a little girl with tear stains in her eyes. I see the people who have beat her down to the point she can no longer cry. I see a little girl though living, has already died a death. I see the monsters who have taken her every breath. I see a little girl who once knew how to laugh. I see now that nothing in heaven or hell could ever bring that back. I see a little girl starving for affection. I see the signs all around her that this girl is far beyond redemption. I see a little girl beaten, bruised, and low. I see those who say they love her but who would rather just not know. I see a little girl who has lost the ability to hope. I see the love that has let her down it is a love that can no longer cope. I see a little girl barely hanging on for dear life. I see the inner anguish and turmoil that has caused so much unwanted strife. I see a little girl who never had a chance. I can hear the voices in her head that send her into a trance. I see a little girl can you see her too? That little girl was once me the one you hated that you knew. I see a little girl she is leaving us today. She thought she would say "I love you" one last time as she makes her way. I see a little girl this girl is no more. She tried to help you understand but you could hear no more. This little girl, we no longer see, She never wanted to leave. I sacrificed my very soul just so you could be free of me.
