Do you see that girl?
In the corner crying?
The one who says she\'s fine, but she\'s lying,
Do you see the tears fall from her eye?
Do you hear the pain that comes in her sigh?
Do you see the pain she tries to hide?
Do you know the secrets she holds inside?
Do you see the lonely fears she won\'t show?
The insecurities she has down low.
Do you see her walking with her head held high?
So you won\'t see her confidence is a lie.
Do you know how many scars she has?
Do you know about her past?
Do you hear the sadness when she talks?
Or see the tenseness when she walks?
Always waiting her senses on alert.
As if she\'s prepared for the worst.
Do you see her?
Smiling so you won\'t see the sorrow.
Do you hear her pray for a better tomorrow?
Do you know she lies awake at night.
With insomnia she can\'t seem to fight?
Do you know she wakes up when she sleeps?
Reliving the terrible memories she keeps?
Do you know she was abused & beaten?
Terrorized for absolutely no reason?
Betrayed by someone who was suppose to love her.
Who put hands on her mother.
As she had to sit and see
Cry her eyes out helplessly.
Wishing she could save her siblings from the bruises
But she was so small & useless
Do you know what its like to watch such a scene?
To wonder why is the world so obscene?
Do you know what its like to be afraid to make a sound?
To hide under you bed hoping you won\'t be found?
Did you ever have to tell a total stranger what you\'ve been through?
Have them strip the clothes off of you?
Stare at you while you shiver from the cold?
As they scribble on the pad they hold?
Have you ever been in a courtroom for hours?
Listening to lies from a coward? Had to relive all the memories of before
Of hitting the wall & smacking the floor?
Did you ever have to hear secrets you never knew?
Of how he touched you siter a way he wasn\'t supposed to do?
Of how he did things to the babies who never lived?
How he took life from such a precious gift?
Did you know she can\'t remember her life as a child?
Because blow to the head took her away for awhile?
Do you know she has nerve damage from too many falls?
And back problems from hitting too many walls?
Do you know she\'s afraid to trust? She\'s scared it\'ll fly away in the dust
That she will be used and left to suffer
And that noone will ever really love her.
Do you know she only sees flaws in the mirror?
That her imperfection couldn\'t be any clearer
She blames herself whenever something goes wrong
Its a habit she\'s had for so long.
She thinks nothing she does.
Is ever good enough
She can\'t do anything right
Seems a failure in everyones sight, Do you know she sits alone and wonders why she\'s here?
Wishing she could just dissapear. Do you know she tries so hard to please?
She gets down & begs on broken knees
Hoping one day shell make someone happy
Hoping one day she won\'t live so sadly.
Do you know she has a heart so big
Even for someone so small?
When she loves she gives her all? Do you see how hard she tries?
To be accepted in everyones eyes? Do you know how much she just wants to be needed?
How nicely she just wants to be treated?
Do you see how strongly she just wants to be loved in return?
Do you see how strongly her passions burn?
Do you see how she wants to be wanted?
To be prided and flaunted?
To be that one that will complete someone?
To finally feel like there is a battles she\'s won.
Do you see how she just simply wants someone to care?
Do you see how she needs someone to just be there?
Do you see how she years for someone she can claim?
Who will keep her & do the same.
Someone she can depend on & make it right
Who she can run to to catch her & hold her tight.
Do you see her hoping she\'s found the one?
Do you see her praying her searching is done?
Do you see the twinkle in her eyes? The slight smile that slips through her disguise?
Do you see that girl in the crowd? The quiet one that doesn\'t make a sound?
That tries to blend in & not draw attention?
Who slips by without mention? Have you noticed her?
Did you even know its her?
Do you see that girl?
Well that girl you never see.
That girl is.... Me...?
