Fallin into insanity

She sat battered and bruised
Upon the cold wood floor
Her body shivered with pain
It couldnt stand no more

Her eyes were blood shot
From all the crying she did
She had put up with this abuse
Since she was a kid

Now she's 16
With no life to live
To get away from here
Oh what she would give

She's took some pills
She's did some drugs
She's went and got drunk
For she's been without love

She's cried so much
That she's passed out
She's starved herself
And did without

She hasn't laughed
In lord knows how long
She knows what's happening
Is all so wrong

She goes to school
She has no friends
Her nightmare stays
It never ends

People call her names
If they only knew
If they would only realize
Her life has been through

Her mother is an alcoholic
Her dad, she grew to hate
They are the cause of all her pain
She's the one he rapes

She knows that life could be better
She knows that she could leave
She knows that pain don't have to exist
But she finds it hard to believe

Hatred grows within her
Her anger is in her heart
She wants to send them straight to hell
But don't know where to start

But instead she prays forgiveness
And for the Lord to make it right
She gets on her knees after he dad's through,
And she prays to him everynight

Sixteen years old and she tells no one
Her dad will never pay
Until she's eighteen and finds the strength,
In this home she will stay

She feels no love for her parents
They are strangers to her now
She wants to leave this God awful place
But she just don't know how

She looks up towards heaven
"Lord if it be your will,
Take my troubles away from me,
Make my pain be still."

At that moment a knock came at the door
A social worker stood outside
"I've come to take your daughter away,
Now please sir, step aside"

The woman took her hand
As her father watched her go
She was ridded of this pain forever
It would never be more

She closed her eyes and thanked the Lord
"Thank you for setting me free"
She kept her faith when she came close
To fallin into insanity
