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
