They told me,
It was okay,

They told me,
Not to worry about my family,
That I'll make alot of money,

So I left home without the intention of going back,

I left my home,
Believing a lie,

But look at me now,
Struggling to find my next supper,
Addicted to their drugs,

Look at me now,
Standing at the street corner,

Look at me now,
Doing the thing I said I'll never do,

Look at me now trying to hide the pain inside,
Of being unable to recognise myself,

I had my future ahead of me,
I could have been what I wanted to be,

but I guess I let the world define me,
Let a stranger limit me choices,

So look at me know,
Living in darkness,
In sorrow,
In denial,

I'm afraid to walk away,
of being alone

Look at me now,
Trying to find hope,
Since I left my home without the intention of ever going back

I've witnessed you're hurt,

I've witnessed you're pain,

I've witnessed the devil hidden within,

You've taken it out on innocent Grace,

Coming  home late and throwing punches at her face,

She screams,
she shouts,

You could hear the freight in her voice,

Why ask for help?

Who would be there to listen?

I'm just too afraid of breaking the silence and accepting my faith,

Remembering those days when you took me from my mother's home,

I hardly knew you,
Yet I was willing to go,

Is this the world I must live in,

Where the colours of a rainy sky on belongs to my eyes,

After it was over,
I hid in my own little corner,

I knee he never meant to hurt me,

Never meant to make me cry,

I know he's not a monster for,

Hidden deep within is his charming side,

Just afraid to come out and say 'Hi'

"I'm sorry, it would never happen again",

I know he've said it several times,

But seeing the aggression in his eyes,

I hope he knows he'll never lose, the only one he had ever loved,

I just wish, he had realised it sooner,
before he took both of our lives,

I know it wasn't his fault,
But neither was it mine,

I blame it on the WORLD,

For its all hr had ever LEARNT.
Its time for OUR WORLD to CHANGE, and that change begins with you and me

This is a life of
a five year old child,
Looking for guidance through those eyes,
But all she see is the monster inside that comes out at night to take her pride,


This is a life of
a five year old child,
Trying to hide,
The fear with an innocent smile,
Never knowing,
What freedom feels like,
She refuses to move on with this pain inside,



This is a life of
a five year old child,
Screaming without a voice,
Living in a silent world,
No one knows what truly happens to her,
He took away her innocence,
Brought tears to her eyes,
She now sees the world differently,



This is a life of ALL five year old child.
Break the silent!!!!

How can you,
Love,
Someone, you have never seen,

How can you,
Miss,
Someone, you have never even known,

How can you,
Think about,
Someone, who wasn't around when you were born,

How can you,
Wish,
For someone, who's already gone,

How can someone,
Make you laugh,
When they didn't say a word to you

How can someone,
Be your hero,
When they didn't protect you,

How can someone,
Make you feel comforted,
When you're always alone,


How can you be accepted,
When you're always thinking,
When you close your eyes, he'll just appear,

How can someone,
Make you cry,
When they don't know, you exist anymore.
Dedicated to someone special

3 words,
Made it seem okay,

3 words,
Made me stay,

3words,
Made me brave,

3 words,
To hold on too,

3 words,
That made our problems go away,

3 words,
That had things going your way,

3 words,
That made me hope for a better day,

3 words,
Made the pain fade away,

3 words,
Made me turn from my mama's will,

3 words,
That quickly turned into an apology,

3 words,
That had me falling again,

3 words,
You hardly would say.
The 3 word was I LOVE YOU
