Dedication

She's so beaten, battered, and bruised.
This is the something she never got to choose.
Cutting to release the pain, but not to die.
Getting stabbed at but she's not allowed to cry.
Have you seen her eyes so lost in pain?
The trembling fingers that make her insane?
No where to hide and no where to run.

Mommy, Daddy Don't make your child cry.
Mommy, Daddy Please don't hurt me.

Stop all the screaming and yelling.
I can't stand it anymore.
Make my tears stop from falling.
Bury myself alive in this morgue.
This is my life. Leave me alone.

Mommy, Daddy Don't make your child cry.
Mommy, Daddy Please don't hurt me.

Save this child from her enemies.
Take all her nightmares away.
Give her time and space to breathe.
Love her like the daughter you never had,

Mommy, Daddy Don't make your child cry.
Mommy, Daddy Please don't hurt me.
Don't hurt me. Don't hurt me.
Mommy, Daddy this is your dedication.
