Theres something I must tell you
But not sure you would believe me
But deep down inside
I have this person That I hide
She protected me when I was young
And now its my turn to watch over her
She hurts from all the pain
From each time those men took from her again and again
She's just 8 years old
But she's seen more then most
And it all gets thrown back in our face
By others who do not wish their names be placed
Thats all I wanted you to know
So you don't worry when I don't act like myself
So sometimes you see
I go away and get traped inside of me

I'm sorry that you know this kind of pain, like storiesuntold says, my heart breaks for you... no little girl should EVER have to go through that and I hope those men suffer. It's understandable why you have a part of you that is sheltered, you want to protect her and I don't blame you. Always here if you need to talk.

Oh honey My heart breaks
Oh if only I could take the pain away and free the little one from those memories .I would . No child should ever be harmed within their home .I so try to help the young people today to know they can tell all and find homes where love does live and be safe . My home would have been such a place and is even today I am here should you ever need such love
