Someone Please Help Me

Through my eyes what do you see
  A broken frightened child is me.
  Slaps an punches I will receive
  Throughout this day was the key
  Someone   "please help me"
 
  Life is dark here, no sun shines
  through, only darkness follows me.
  No where to run  No where to hide
  I wish I would of died.
  Someone  "please help me"

  Pretends an Lies are this place
  Many many scars upon my face.
  Black an blue is my body
  I wish that I had somebody 
  to take this pain away.
  Someone "please help me"

  Cold an alone is my life here 
  A few years old an never told
  I love you dear,  just come here
  Momma's here.
  Broken bones are just a game
  that sometimes just takes place
  Someone "please help me"
 
  One blow to my skull to much
  Mommy an Daddy's final touch
  Blood over flows the floor
  An Daddy gives me just one more
  No more tears upon my face 
  My life will be forever erased 
  Someone "please find me"
 
  Pain an hate at only eight
  was a life for me in hell. 
  Where Mommy an Daddy
  will rot in Jail.

I Sneak Away From My Past

I sneak away from the past
looking through a mirrored glass
What you see you can't believe
that this life is of me.
Raped an burned cut an sliced
by daddy big ole knife.

I sneak away from the past
looking through a mirrored glass
The things You made me do
an the things you did to me
would make you cry you see.

A child so young an afraid
black an blue maybe grey
she never has anything to say.
Broken bones every now an then
as Mommy sets there an just grins.

I sneak away from the past 
looking through a mirrored glass
I pretend every things ok
As daddy looks this way
an tells me just what to say.

I sneak away from the past 
while looking through that 
mirrored glass as my time here
has almost past.

I leave this world far behind
as mommy an daddy's world 
will shine.
Locked away for ever in a day
This is where they'll always stay.

You Live Your Life Free

You live your life free, 
but as for me
you took that away from me.
Tears pour out 
like fresh morning rain,
My body trembles and shakes 
as my bones began to break.

My screams turns to silence
as the pain swells inside.
When you stop the blood runs down 
my thigh's.
Crying does't matter, I'm just
another child battered.

I try to hide the bruises, the 
shattered bones you break.
The bloodstained sheets you throw
away, are of me that you done to me.
Why do you hurt me 
"I plea"

You live your life free 
but as for me 
you took that away from me.

Suicide

Suicide is the darkness that takes over you mind and soul.
You believe all is lost and that no one knows how much you hurt.
That ache that pounds deep within you, keeps calling to you.
How? When? Where? who would even care.
You keep all the pain bottled up deep inside you, so no one 
will see. You pretend to be normal, but you are slowly dying.
Peace by peace you slip further away. 
The tears you shed wishing you were dead.
There is no sunshine in darkness, only the pain that swells 
up in our souls that begs for death.
You try to make sense of all that you have been through, but 
it hits you right in the face, that you are a waist of breath. 
You are not good enough to share this world, and it would be
better for everyone if you were dead, no one will ever love you.
Just end it all,and save this life for someone who is loved.
It's dark but my blood is warm.
I feel no pain.
Suicide is the darkness that takes over your mind and soul.

Numbness Will Over Come Us

Numbness will over come us.
In the end pain will win.
The scorching desire of death
will always take your breath.
Colorless bare skin
with marks and scars
that hide inside.
We all just want to die.
Lies we are told to obey
or slaps against my face.
Belts an burns as you take turns.
Numbness has set in
my pain only begins.
The light inside my soul
burns with rage and hate,
how can this be I'm only eight.
Time is at an end, my story 
will only end with death
of Numbness that has overcome us.

Silence

Silence is the moment you give up on saving a child.
You hear the beatings, but you pretend not to.
You see the bruises and the broken bones,
but you say nothing, you can't get involved.
You know deep down what is taking place,
so you ignore the signs and the proof.
You go about your day thinking you 
should of said something. But you don't
The days go by and it gets worse
You pretend that you really didn't 
see or hear anything.
So the child enduring the horrific pain
goes on hoping to be rescued, but you 
keep telling yourself that maybe he or she
must of been bad. 
That child you said nothing about is and has
been brutally beaten, he or she now lays
lifeless in a cold broken home where 
they are abused by someone who is 
to care and love them. 
You see the police cars and the coroner 
and then deep down you know what was
going on.
The child is now laying on a stretcher being
carried away, but days earlier he or she was alive.
You blame yourself because if you would 
of stepped up and call someone 
maybe that child would still be alive.
So keeping your mouth closed when you
see a child being abused 
is not helping them
you can't save them by being quiet
                So
"SPEAK UP AND SPEAK LOUD"
You maybe the the one that he or she
is praying to to rescue them. 
 
Abuse goes on everywhere, please 
Don't be silent  Please Speak up and rescue
a child who needs you.

Nothing Is Right, Every Things Wrong

Perfect wounds bound up with battered bruises
stretch across my tiny little body.
No one knows the life I live behind closed doors
an the pain I endure each day on a cold slab floor.
Nothing is right, Every things wrong
Mommy wishes that I was gone.
She hits me hard across my head
While screaming I wish you were dead.
She grabs my arm an screams at me some more
telling me to clean her floor,
an wipe that blood up before I get some more.
My heart pounds away wishing I could just fly away
never loved an never be missed.
I close my eyes wishing for death
I feel the warm blood roll down my side
as mommy stuck the knife deep inside.
No more pain an no more tears
Ive gone away some where safe.
Nothing is right,Every things wrong
except that I am gone.

Xbox

The games that we play
are not the real things we see
just playing with me

Homeless

Homeless is my name
I sleep in shame.
I lost it all in a blink 
of an eye, all I do is cry.
Homeless is my name.
People stare an laugh
make fun of an run
this life I live is not fun.
I rummage through garbage 
you see, to find just a crumb 
to eat, I thirst so much
my mouth is dry, sometimes
I just wish I'd die.
I lost it all at the hands of others
A wreckage so big that it took
them all away from me.
My wife an two sons was all I had
now there all gone an I'm so very sad.
So when you pass by, don't laugh at me
because you don't know me.
You don't know the pain I bare
so don't stop an stare.
This is the life I was given
So remember this good,
the next time you pass by
That life can be taken in a blink of an eye
this may be you an I'll be standing on the other side.
