In a dark room, a little girl hid.
She clung to her doll.
Hungry and alone, she cried.
Why did no one love her?
Her mom left her for a gram,
and some other man.
Her dad abusive, and drunk.
She dug her way through bags of trash and junk.
Little girl wanted something to eat.
Daddy found her sent her to her room for
a beat.
Her momma's new man, lefted her dress
and covered her mouth with his hand.  
"Don't tell anyone" he then said.
Sent the little girl back to bed.
She knew she had to be strong.
She knew she had been done wrong.
She finally told her grandma.
She finally told the cops.
She was finally safe and her abuser was stopped.
Yes, this is a real story you see.
This little girl, was me.
