Missing Girl

Have you seen the girl who thirsts for somebody's attention? Have you seen the girl who 
hungers for somebody's affection? Have you seen the girl who is scared and confused? Have 
you seen the girl who, no matter what she does she always seems to lose? Have you seen 
the girl who has been raped too much throughout her life? Have you seen the girl who never 
seems to do anything right? Have you seen the girl who is so very lonely? Have you seen the 
girl who no one thinks she is unhappy? because she always has a smile on her face, she's 
very good at hiding the pain, and keeping it away. Have you seen the good woman that she 
has turned out to be, that missing girl, come to think about it, is me.*
