I am the Girl

I walked along a darkened path
My heart was cold as stone

Despair filled my every breath
And tears spilled from my eyes

Pain wracked my body
And consumed me from the inside out

My heart is breaking and my soul weeps
As I wait for the morning light to dawn

How long will the road bend and turn?
How long till I see the sun?

For I am the girl that no one can see--
Abused broken and torn

I know no love
I know no hope
Faith and trust allude me

I am the girl--
That no one can see
That no one will help
That no one can love

I am the girl hungry and cold
I am the girl beaten and bruised--
From which you turn away
I am the girl with the invisible face
