Nobody Noticed

You saw her ever smiling face
You just loved her laughter
You were amazed by her caring soul
You wished she was your child
You wished your kids were like her

Ever noticed how lonely she was?
Do you remember the day you saw her sitting alone down the road?
Ever wondered why she was sitting alone under that tree?
What about the day you saw her sitting in that place of sleeping?
Did you ever noticed her shattered soul?

She was a "happy kid/soul"
But deep down she was a broken soul
She missed her parents
To her, a medicine to wake the dead would have been great.

She was a "happy kid/soul"
But deep down she was empty
She was a slave in her parent's house
Having to do house chores was nothing to her,
Her mother taught her well.
But.. having her aunt's husband forcing his way inside her tiny body, takes the cake.

She was a "happy kid/soul"
But she was empty and hopeless
That she thought suicide was her only hope.

Someone should have noticed
