No-one to turn to no-one to trust
People walk by me and think disgust
they turn their heads and ignore reality
They block me from their minds to guard thier sanity.

What they don't understand is why i'm here
if they did they would draw a tear
their thoughts of people like me would change
and they no longer would think we were strange.

All I ask is for people to care
and listen to the secrets that i'm desperate to share
instead of thinking I commited a crime
please let them understand - just one time.

If only I told them what I went through
God if only they knew
I am here on the streets whilst freezing to death
so cold in December I can see my breath.

The time for families to be so close together
knowing for me it is over forever.
All I wanted is to be loved by you
but I know now it's too good to be true.

Beaten black and blue and flinching with fright
I was even scared to sleep at night
Help me! help me! I wanted to scream aloud
but to be quiet and not say a word is what I vowed.

I don't understand why I was always abused
I never knew why, I was always confused
Why was I treated like this?
I was never once loved I was once never kissed.

All I wanted was to be loved
not kicked not punched not shoved.
Thinking I was about to lose me life,
I remeber the look on your face with that knife.

I slowly close my eyes and think this is all my fault
my final thought then my lungs come to a hault.
I'm happy that my life is over
I'm with God now, he is my saviour.

Here I am, up in heaven
At the age of only eleven.
I'm with people that truely see
for once I feel what I have never felt

Free.
