Little Girl In Tears

All alone in a corner
Sits a little girl in tears
No one is there to comfort her
And soothe away her fears

She has nobody to pull her close
Or gently hold her hand
Where's the one that whispers soft
And helps her understand

People keep passing by her
Not noticing that she's there
All she wants is to be loved
Someone to show they care

She's seen too much in her life
Of heartache, tears, and pain
Won't anyone just hold her tight
So she can smile again

Mommy never wanted her
And daddy hurt her bad
Is it any wonder
Why the little girl's so sad

Everyone she's ever loved
Has left and gone away
She's never had the kind of hope
That brightens up the day

So all alone in a corner
Sits that little girl in tears
Why will no one comfort her
And soothe away her fears

Author notes

I know this is a bit long especially for me, but, I was woken up at 3am by this in my head. I had to write it down before I was able to go back to sleep.

    Touched a nerve with me and reminded me of being that little girl. Was so well written and summed up that 'little girls' life.
    Well done.

    well i'm glad you wrote it down, even if it did cause you to get up in the middle of the night. unfortunately this is true for so many children. hopefully people will be awakened to their plight.

    This was by far my favorite part of this poem, but the whole thing was beautiful, and very emotional. Great job, keep up the awesome work.
