Beware, it's kind of long.
What are you doing my child?
Why are you curled up tight?
Why are you shedding tears
In the midist of the night?
I heard you scream in your sleep my child,
I heard you throw a fit.
I know you had a nightmare -
I know you want yo quit.
Please listen here my child,
And listen really close.
That monster in your head,
Is nothing but a ghost.
Please open your eyes my child,
Take in this beautiful sight.
I know it hurts right now,
But you'll make it through this night.
I know your past haunts you my child,
I know that you were raped.
I think you tried to scream for me,
But your mouth was surly taped.
I'm sorry I wasn't there my child,
When you were crying and you were hurt.
I know you wished you were dead,
When you were lying in the dirt.
Please come here my child,
Why don't we count the stars?
I know you used to think
That they were flying cars.
You need to have faith my child.
Please kneel down and pray.
Everything will be alright,
I'll make the monster go away.
Please don't cut my child,
Please find a colorful marker.
Different shades of green and red,
please use nothing darker.
You are beautiful my child,
Despite what you might think.
Those are your battle scars hun,
You're not a missing link.
You're almost there my child,
I see you healing everyday.
Just a few more steps,
And you will feel okay.
How are your nightmares my child?
Do they still give you a fright?
Do you still sit crying
In the midist of the night?
Here's a trick my child,
Keep a notebook by your bed,
And list ten things positive
Before you rest your head.
I've noticed your markers my child,
That you carry all along.
Used to draw on your skin,
As you sing a happy song.
I'm proud of you my child,
For giving life a chance.
I love to see you smile,
And do your happy dance.
You know my blessed child,
When those thoughts come back,
You should take pretty pictures
And hang them with a tac.
Here's another trick my child,
You need to buddy up.
Tell them how youre feeling,
So they can lift you up.
You are doing well my child,
Aren't you glad you stayed?
Your life is being built,
Though never perfectly made.
I have good news my child,
The monster is nearly gone.
He never raped another girl
At the break of dawn.
I love you very much my child,
And I see you're getting g better.
You're talking to your friends again.
You ripped your suicide letter.
I can tell you this my child,
The monster has clearly faded.
And you my loving child,
Have definitely made it.
Now don't you see my child,
That life is worth a shot.
The scary rapist is dead -
That dreadful monster caught.
