~Little Girl in this Big World~
Girl, little girl,
you are playing with your friends
seem to be so happy, is it all pretend
as you take a look around
Girl, little girl,
what do you know about the world
who you are and what you’ll be
how much the hurt you cannot count
When i look at your picture
i already see bewildered eyes
you look so brave and young
yet already are fighting for your life
Girl, brave young girl
you are not even four
yet have to move
didn’t want to, you tried to hide
Girl, brave young girl,
leaving your home
your country
don’t want to leave, are terrified
You are moving away
with your parents along
yet they are lost in their fighting
don’t see you feel wrong
Girl, young sick girl,
you pretended too much
forgot who you were
got lost and stopped eating
Girl, sick young girl,
you wanted to die
to make everyone happy
you believed to deserve all the beating
You still want to die
leave this all behind
believe in the lies
yet truth you can’t find
Voices and thoughts and cuts and words
and days and nights
questions and hurts
who tells you that you are not allowed
to be beautiful or found
Girl, grown-up girl
you still seem so lost in the past
wait for the breath that will be your last
guess you never really knew how to live
Girl, grown-up girl
do you know you do your best?
can’t you see it’s okay for you to take some rest
that when you ask for help, others are happy to give
You still don’t know how to accept
and how to trust someone, even you
the secrets and memories you’ve always kept
but God loves you and He sees you through
