I was raised in a loveless silence Many days filled with violence With no on by my side I grew up wide eyed In the shadow I couldn't see What was truly missing Not knowing what was supposed to be normal Not knowing love Or affection Just being alone All on her own That little girl That was forgotten by the world And raised herself in the dark Not knowing the true light Not knowing love She couldn't trust anyone Not even herself The things she saw What she heard Would break any child And she lived believing it It was normal to be broken By the ones supposed to protect her And help her grow She couldn't get away Until the one day she ran away
