Broken child From a broken home Her stepdaddys hands Would always roam
She was punished for living Emotionally tortured While her mother stood by Just never bothered
Bruised knees heal But broken hearts stay Scared people will leave She pushes them away
Broken adult Grown from a broken child Her eyes show pain Even though she smiles
Behind her smile Is a hurting heart Behind her laugh She is falling apart
She pretends to be whole An ache builds in her chest Putting on a brave face She knows deep down she must rest
Outside she is strong But her heart is broken Wishing her story Could just be spoken
A broken adult Her voice is drowned She cries and screams silently Never utters a sound
Wiping tears from her eyes And with pain in her heart The broken adult Is starting to fall apart
A broken child With a broken smile Is coming back For a little while
This broken child Is falling apart She needs someone to help Mend her broken heart
This broken child Nurture and love she must feel For it is the only way Her sweet heart will heal.
