She was a girl

Small and frail

She smelled like nothing

Not of home or herself

Her mother didn't love her

Her father left her

The little girl didnt know

She needed love

She worked hard at home

Didn't put all her effort in school

She cleaned from top to bottom

Made sure her mother had nothing to rage

The little girl sold her eggs to make money

But her mother takes it all away

On the days she has nothing to do

She sits by the house phone

Waiting, waiting for that one father to call

She only saw him five times

Yet each time he made promises

And each time they were broken

Her teachers would punish her 

For the girl always feel asleep in class

And never turned in her work

But what they don't know

Is that she ran all through the night 

looking for her mother

And found her lying at their neighbors door steps

How she would struggle to left her up 

And take her away

The little girl will feed and change her 

As if the mother was her own child

And the mother would yell and scream at her all through the night

Telling her how useless she was

How she wished she never had her

The little girl stayed silent

For she never knew she deserved more

She never knew that her mothers wounds where to pass on to her

She never got to know what love was

For one night

Years later

She tried to flee

But as she jumped off the train

She never made it to the ground

The little girl will never know

Never know what freedom was
