The Frightened Child

The frightened child want’s to die.
she tries to hide the pain inside ,now she’ll have to lie.
To hide the truth deep inside.
Her eyes are filled with hate .
Her heart is as cold as ice and slowly turns to stone.
But she don’t dare cry
Because she has to keep it deep inside.
It’s all said ,it’s all done.
Now there’s nothing but pain and a little frightened child inside.
