"Please Don't Believe Me" by Terry Sue Crawford

Verse 1
Jimmy's walking home from school talking with his friend
But when they get to Jimmy's house he can‚t invite him in
Jimmy says his mom's not well and tells his friend good-bye
He keeps a secret as he slowly walks inside

Cause Mom's been drinking and right now she doesn't care
About this awful burden her child must bear, he's begging

Chorus
Please don't believe me when I say I'm ok
Look a little deeper for the words that I can't say
I'm too small to stand alone, I sure could use a friend
Help me learn to trust someone again
Don't leave me
Please don‚t believe me

Verse 2
There's a house that's dark and quiet where little Amy sleeps
There's footsteps in the bedroom where someone shouldn't be
Somebody whispers I'll hurt you if you tell
Amy keeps the secret and blames it on herself, her smile is just a shell

Chorus

Bridge

Oh the years fly by for the ones who survive
Till they look like grown ups, and nobody hears them
Nobody hears them cry

chorus

theres one....

ill try to find more.....

"evening Shade" by Dolly Parton

My train of thought was broken by a sudden burst of laughter
Something badly needed to brighten up the chores
Seemed old Mrs. Bailey had accidentally fell
In the water being used to scrub the floors
Now Mrs. Bailey was the meanest matron at the home
She believed in lots of work with little play
And we laughed till we bent double
Though we knew we'd get in trouble
But trouble's all we had at evening shade
Now evening shade was where they claim to teach you understanding
To teach you love and keep you off the streets
And all the kids that live here are said to be a problem
Juvenile delinquents so to speak

But understanding isn't learned from punishment and anger
An iron has no gentle touch and love ain't learned from hate
The reason we were here is 'cause we had no one who cared
But they cared even less at evening shade

Little Susan Bradley, one night had wet her bed
Mrs. Bailey took the razor strap and beat her half to death
And I knew that something must be done to put an end to this
And so I started talking plans with the older kids

Plans were that Joe Johnson would steal the kerosene
And I would get some matches when nobody seen
Beckie Adams would make sure the kids were all outside
Billy Watson would look out for the evil eye

Now Mrs. Bailey took a nap at three o'clock each day
We knew that she'd be a'sleeping as the plans got underway
Now that its all over and the sun is going down
There's no evening shade 'cause we burned it to the ground

"Janies got a gun" by Aerosmith

"Safe" by Karl Kohlhase

Another day and night alone
This broken house is not my home
I'm in danger in this place
Four years I've learned to understand
I tremble when you raise your hand
There is hatred in your face
I love you, but I'd leave you
If I knew just where to go
But I am far too small to ever try
And make it on my own

I need to hide away and find a little love
I need to find a safe new shelter from this unrelenting storm
I am frightened and confused
I am torn and I'm abused
And I just need someone to take me in their arms
So take me in your arms

There's Someone watching over you
Who knows just what you're going through
There are angels in this place
And every time you start to cry
Another tear forms in His eye
There is sorrow in His face
Now don't you start to worry
Because Heaven is so far
He has many friends on earth
Who serve to be His open arms

And He says, Come and hide yourself within My love
I will be your shelter, I will calm the raging storm
I was treated badly, too
So now I'm close enough to you
And I will be the One to take you in My arms
I'll take you in my arms
So just lay your little head upon my shoulder
And wrap your arms so tight around my neck
And soak my shirt with tears, we'll cry together
Let it out, Let Him in
You can start to breathe again

When I say, Come and hide yourself within my love
I will be your father, I will take you in my home
You don't have to be afraid
I will keep each promise made
And I will be the one to take you in my arms
Your safe within these arms

Safe within these arms

maybe some of those will help you....if not just let me know and i can find more!!!

I'm Ok By Christina Aguilera Is a Poem More About The Verbal Abuse And Torture She Encountered From Hearing Her Mother Being Beaten And How It Shook Her Up, And If I'm Not Mistaken In The Song She Says She Was Thrown Against Cold Stairs, I Hope I Was Of Help xoxo-Nikki-xoxo
