General

I hear the cry in the middle of the night,

Screaming of hurt and confusion in her eyes;

She sleeps with fear of the past she had,

Listening to hurt and fear and not having a dad;

Days and nights become long and hard,

No sleep no motivation cause the dream tore her apart;

Feeling helpless and trapped in the past She hates,

Falling to pieces because she cant escape;

She looks around in the cold dark room,

Hearing voices from the past with Hope's it to leave soon;

Wake up wake up as her mind tries to leave,

But in her eyes u can only see how she grieves;

She listens in the night and in the day,

nothing but triggers comes her way;

A song on the radio a car that goes by,

To the memories of her mother that can only make her cry;

The abuse she had from her mother hand,

And another from the dangerous man;

Her mom leaving her lonely and left to be,

She woke up each night her mother she did not see;

She dreams of things from her past ,

In her memories is all that lasts.;

Wake up wake up and breath a new life,

But she scared and worried that it will all just die;

To move on from what she lived,

The hurt and pain she has is all that she has to give;

From her past she tries to let go,

But the memories of the past tells her no;

Her mom wipes her tears from what has been done,

Tries to explain to her this is a new one;

A new chapter to her life that has turned out good,

But the mother never understood;
