Her Pain

All alone she cries Tortured tears she hides In the dark her hope dies Where are her hearts hidden guides? You see her but don’t notice Her face hidden in her darkened hair In her pocket she holds a sacred lotus You laugh, you avoid her, but you don’t care All that she knows is that flower The only thing that had ever been given In that flower she holds her life, her power She thinks she does wrong, her actions unforgiven She takes from the shop But all she takes is a single fruit She has no parents to tell her to stop She lives in a house full of dispute Returns home to an empty house To a cold family so long broken Sits there in the corner quiet as a mouse If only she had the courage to be outspoken At this girl you look, you stare Now you see her silent pain You see one of a pair You see the smile that has such a strain To her you now speak You teach her right from wrong You see just how she became so weak Now you teach her a happy song See her smile she has a new life You saved her from the dark You freed her from that heavy strife Now you see her love begin to spark She feels so alive, so real She knows how life should be It was you who released misery’s seal Now watch her fly, soar, so light, so free
