A child of abuse
Since she was three years old
She's lost in the darkness
Silent and cold

Aware of her surroundings
Unable to speak
A child full of life
Now, humble and meek

Abandonded at birth
Given to a stranger
No one to protect her
From the imminent danger

Her tears never heard
In silence she wept
Never telling anyone
Of the secrets she's kept

Her dreams now forgotten
At the tender age of ten
Afraid of the dark
Her nightmares begin

Where is the hero
To rescue this child?
Lost and broken
Her innocence defiled

In a small glass container
She catches her tears
Proof of her torment
Her silent years
