(in progress)

to fall away
to be lost in a moment
trusting no one is
over your shoulder
just your hair that plays
in wind and soon
in rain

pain
doesn't express
what she felt best
no one could take it away
she was just a little girl
what was she suppose to say

i asked,
"did you pray for God to save you"
she did and every time
it rang true
no one was there

no one to rescue
her from the door
that opened
even bolders
couldn't keep closed

with every tear i felt helpless
what are we suppose to do
with children
who are being abused

how are we suppose to know

please believe you're not alone
i don't have the answers
to your stories that burn
my mind

just believe you are loved
even when it's seems
silent from above

there's a hope deep inside
but you're afraid to believe it
the oppression you can't deny
you feel like everyone sees it

please keep on praying
be brave
become stronger
fight

you will survive
and help others
who might be
going through
torture too
