Unloved Child

by 0BrokenBella0   Jan 23, 2008


Five years old, she's an unloved child.
Seven years old, and she never smiles.
Her parents, they don't want her there.
She was a mistake. They don't care.

What happened to them to make them that way.
They used to love her, they used to hug her,
They used to want her to stay.

They made her an unloved girl.
They're teaching her to hate the world.
She knows nothing different, she'll grow up that way.
But it's not her fault she'll be like them some day.
And she never smiles, she's an unloved child.

She's on the A-honor roll at the age of thirteen.
She has lots of friends from her basketball team.
She's nice to all people, no matter how or who.
She knows when to speak up, she won't be cruel to you.

Sixteen years old, and she'd driving a car.
Cruising around, while her dad's at the bar.
Her mom is at home, and she'd getting high,
After ten years of pain, she won't mess up tonight.

They made her an unloved girl.
They're teaching her to hate the world.
She knows nothing different, but she won't be that way.
She's gonna get out and move far away.
And she always smiles, but she's an unloved child.

Eighteen years old, and she's up on that stage,
In a blue cap and gown, brushing her tears away.
She's graduating at the top of her class.
She worked her butt off to escape her past.

On her way to college, just a memory now.
She's finally free, and she's out of their house.
They can't hurt her now, because she got away.
She's driving along with the wind on her face.

They made her an unloved girl.
Life taught her to love the world.
She grew up with that, but she isn't that way.
If she was like them, she wouldn't be here today.
And she always smiles, her life was worthwhile.

And she'll never raise an unloved child.
No, she got away, the unloved child.
