The Child That Is Me
There once was child who as sad as sad can be
The child cried many a tear
It cried where no else would see
The child cried alone for many a year
People did laugh at the child who cowered in fear
They would poke and taunt
While the child cried many a tear
The people the child did daunt
This child did stay as sad as sad can be
This child was chained
The child could never be free
I know because this child is me
The child is me
I have cried many a tear
I have cried alone for oh so many a year
I am as sad as sad can be
The scars in my wrist
Are records of the taunting
If I were gone I wouldn't be missed
For the people are daunting
And here I will remaining crying my tears
The child that is me
For many years
I will remain as sad as sad can be
