Does anybody hear me? Does anybody care?
Does any body hear my screams? Is anybody there?
This door is locked. I don't know why.
I promised I would never tell, I wouldn't even cry
I am your child. You watch me bleed...
All you think of is this sick need.



What did I do to deserve this pain?
You leave no marks but scars remain.
Deep inside where no one knows
A spirit dies; Only fear now grows.
Yet you call ME the 'demon seed;
You'll never see even little hearts bleed.



You look at me and see no love;
You hated me from the day I was born.
So unwanted and so very unloved;
You beat my body with your cruel words.
I cry myself to sleep at night;
No one tells me stories or holds me tight.
You use me for your pleasure and leave me;
I hug my pillow tight for comfort all night.



You say you love me, yet you hurt me so;
I will promise not to tell a soul.
Is this some curse, a strange new disease?
I was not the first, oh God help me please!
I will do what you say even though it does not feel right;
Please just leave me alone, Let me rest tonight.



I hear your footsteps outside my door
You are coming for me, once more
Why can't God .....stop you dead?
I Pray that I could die
As you stand there beside my bed
Someday please,.... someone hear my pleas...
