She hides behind a smile
When inside she's crying for help
She knows when she goes home
It'll just be another welt.
She wears those dresses everday
In hopes that they can't see
The real life she lives in
No matter how hard it can be.
The bruises on her shoulder
The scratches on her back
Just another mark
From another bad attack
She tries to tell her momma
But her momma doesn't care
She takes out all her anger
On the girl's flesh she tears
The next day at school
The little girl is gone
Other parents don't know how to say
What exactly went wrong
The girl is so much happier now
She's free from all the pain
The little girl got thorugh it
To the sunshine from the rain
The mother never thought
Her little girl would die
The mother will be punished
While the girl is flying high
All the people ponder
Over the bruises never mentioned
They mourn the loss of a small death
That could have been prevented

Concrete Angel by Martina McBride; I love this song...so sad but really has a great meaning. Video also very sad, but happy in the end.
