Pain...forever deep down pain
That forever hurt that I live with
ever since I can remember; a way
of life for me.

I sometimes hear other kids talk about
their lives; such happy moments
spent with a family who loves them;
even when they sometimes do wrong.

But then I close my eyes and remember
that pain that will always be with me.
Scars that will never heal.
Sometimes, I cry; but only on the inside.

My Life.
Born to two people; A mom and dad,
who may or may not love me for I'll
never truly know...
I've never heard the words...

I LOVE YOU.

Only such things as how stupid I am,
and clumsy I seem to be. Even though;
I try so very very hard.
When I hear this; I know it's only
the beginning. For the beatings soon
follow.

Could you answer a question for me?
What's it feel like to smile?
How does it feel inside to know
that you are loved?

Is it a warm soft feeling to be held?
Or to hear the words,

'I LOVE YOU'?

Pain that others see on the outside;
that's only the beginning...for no one
will ever know the pain that's on the
inside. Bruises heal; but not the heart.

Every time I see a little girl like me
getting that 'hug' or 'kiss' from their
mom or dad. I close my eyes and cry;
but softly so no one will hear me.

I don't like beatings. They leave scars on the
inside that never heal. Will I ever feel ~ loved ~?
I don't know. Perhaps it's only a dream.
A silly dream, I know...but just maybe...

Dear Jesus; I know you are so very very busy
with lots of mommies and daddies...
but do You think ...
just maybe ...

Do You think that maybe I could
for just this once; even if it's
only a whisper,

hear someone say to me

'I LOVE YOU'?

Jesus
I dont want to hurt anymore.
Can You come take me with You?

Please!

Author's Note:

I have debated as to whether I
should put music to this for

Her life is void of music.
I want the Full Impact of her
life to be felt without distraction.

But on further contemplation,
I felt it needed music;
for in having the music here,
she has been offered 'hope'

Ring around the rosie
pocketful of sorrows.
Unless You  reach out to help me
I'll have no more tomorrows!
