Shhhhh Listen
past present and now the future all are made of her
the reasons she is her is because you let her
deep in the realm of the unknown hold the truths of yesturday
parrables and scriptures of what used to be
she lays at night and recalls all the stages of her life
in the pictures she kept she sees many different things
from a lonely little girl a bit overweight
to a teenager with no friends who was molested
to a young lady who was having many sexual encounters
now a grown woman with more problems than enough
living life as it comes only getting whats passed down
no respect from her family or the men she keeps around
the nightmares from of her abuse still haunt her everyday
the beatings she took and the scares they left will never go away
so cold is her heart for it stopped beating long ago
desperate is her soul that longs to grow old
she cannot bare children and her body is worn out
she grasps on to what little faith she keeps tucked away
in the corner of her mind she realizes that her life is jaded
just wanting to be loved and held is asking for way too much
she uses drugs and drinks her time away only living for today
ther tears she used to cry have dried up and stopped flowing
body sores and rashes and needle marks cover her frail body
leaving her to want to die but not having the courage to try
with no hope in sight and no one to care silence is spoken
in the midnight air
