Shattered Innocence

Silent shadows, whispers in the dark

A little heart, torn apart from the start

Once a child with innocent eyes

Dreams of skies, now silent cries

Hands that hurt, words that sting

Lost in a world that forgot to sing

Fading hope, behind closed doors

A little soul, crying to be heard

Broken wings but still they want to fly

Invisible scars that they hide inside

Shattered childhood, lost and free

A story of pain no one should see

Trust betrayed with every tear

Hiding fears they hold so near

Lonely nights and whispered screams

A childhood haunted by cruel dreams

Fading hope, behind closed doors

A little soul, crying to be heard

Broken wings but still they want to fly

Invisible scars that they hide inside

Shattered childhood, lost and free

A story of pain no one should see

Wish I could tell you it gets better

Hold on tight through stormy weather

Though the past tries to define

You’re stronger than their cruel design

Rise above, find your light

Heal the wounds, reclaim your right

A new dawn begins to break

A child’s hope, no longer fake
