Don’t ask my name, it doesn’t matter,
I’m different than the rest, same as another.
They play with dolls and jump with their rope,
To be like them is all I can hope.
Their families, so full of love and care<
This I don’t have, it is not fair.
I don’t have friends like others do
Just someone I could be close to.
I stay away and watch from afar
So no one will see my many scars.
I wish someone would look at me and see
Why I am alone and come help me.
If someone would care and let me start
I would give to them the love I have in my heart.

My mommy told me I was a mistake.
I don’t understand, but it makes me ache.
She stays away and turns her head
When daddy carries me up to bed.
He says he loves me, the little girl he had,
But when he touches me, I hurt and feel bad.
I don’t know how much more I can stand
When they get drunk and I feel their hand.
A fight they had tonight and the last I recall
When he grabbed me and threw me against the wall.

I will be loved now since the angels came,
Because to Him I matter and He already knows my name.
