The Girl Who Was Never Seen

She was just a child,
A whisper in the storm,
Her father's hands were hell,
Her heart, a broken form.
The world never saw her pain,
Just a girl too small to speak,
Her voice drowned in shadows,
Her soul growing weak.

At eight, her brother left,
A life stolen too soon,
A silent cry in the night,
A body beneath the moon.
He died with his pain,
A cut too deep to heal,
Her father's twisted love
Made his death so real.

She tried to scream,
But no sound would come,
Her body a cage,
Her spirit undone.
The walls knew her tears,
The silence was her friend,
But no one came to save her,
No one would defend.

Her heart was bruised
By hands that should have cared,
Her soul was cracked
By a love that never dared.
CPS came knocking,
But they never stayed,
She was just a child,
Left in the cold, afraid.

At fifteen, she spoke,
But the world turned away,
Her words fell like ashes,
With nothing left to say.
She begged for someone to listen,
But the silence swallowed her whole,
A girl with a shattered mind,
A body without a soul.

Her Nana loves her,
But it's never enough,
She carries the weight of the world,
Like a life that's too tough.
She feels like a burden,
A shadow that they all see,
Her heart is an anchor,
And it's drowning her helplessly.

Her friends try to help,
But she falls too deep,
For every smile they give,
She just wants to weep.
They call her beautiful,
But it's just another lie,
She sees the cracks in her body,
The parts she can't deny.

She wants to be loved,
But she's never been whole,
Her body is broken,
Her mind's lost control.
She's an empty shell,
With nothing left to give,
Her heart is an echo,
A place where love can't live.

She scratches her skin
To feel something real,
A cut is a prayer,
A wound that can heal.
But the scars never fade,
The pain never leaves,
Each mark is a memory,
A promise she believes.

She waits for affection,
But it burns like the fire,
A touch that feels warm
But leaves her cold, so tired.
The love she craves
Is just out of reach,
She's lost in a world
That doesn't see what she teaches.

She's drowning in silence,
Her heart is a stone,
Her mind is a storm,
Her body unknown.
She's lost in the dark,
But no one sees her fall,
She's the girl who was never meant to be,
The girl who was nothing at all.

She's a ghost in the night,
A shadow on the floor,
A girl who is nothing,
And can never be more.
Her mind is a cage,
Her soul is a scream,
She's a broken girl,
Living in a dream.

Each day is a battle,
But no one can fight,
Her heart is a war,
She can't win this fight.
The past haunts her deeply,
The future is a lie,
She just wants to sleep,
But even that feels like goodbye.

Her tears are invisible,
Her pain never ends,
She smiles to fit in,
But it's only pretend.
She wants to be seen,
But the world's turned away,
A girl who was forgotten,
A girl who can't stay.

And when the world looks at her,
They'll never understand,
The broken girl beneath,
With no one to hold her hand.
Her story will fade,
Like a whisper in the dark,
The girl who was never meant to be
A soul that leaves no mark.
