~~Please tell me what you think~~
He touches her but she doesn't scream she doesn't say a word
she just recalls the threats that she heard
but to this girl it seems only normal
cause it happens more then once in a while
but thats how it's seen through the eyes of a child
~*
he see's his mama being hit by his daddy
but to him it's only right
cause he see's it happen close to every night
he is scared of his daddy
and thats putting it mild
but thats how it is seen
through the eyes of a child.
~*
she wanders the dirty streets afraid
and alone
just wondering if she has a place to call her home
see her mother lost her job again
just the other day
they don't have any money
yet there are bills to pay
her mommy is a saint
although the drugs turn her wild
but thats how it is seen
throught the eyes of a child
