The Lost

The tear drops keep falling as she quietly walks away
Not knowing where to turn she softly slips into the shadows
No one realizes she has left
And another child is lost into the night

Screaming through tears drops she yells at her mom
Slamming the door and running now hard
Her mom just stands there
She never returns

Everyone's screaming and she wants to just hide
She walks out the back door to escape the loud noise
She just keeps on walking
And never looks back

The pain and the hurt, beatings everyday
She dreams of a place she could just go away
She saves up her money and buys herself a ticket
With only a bag she leaves on the train

He was teased by the kids all day at school
Never had newer clothes often no shoes at all
His parents where poor and they tried very hard
One day he was gone and no one noticed

He was star of the team everyone knew him
They all called his name as he walked down the halls
Yet no one stopped to really see who he was
And now they all wonder where did he go

just leave the house
get out of my place
I never again
want to see your round face

yes I can do that
my names on the lease
quit trying to beg me
shut up and cease

pack all your bags
just get out now
don't ask me where
don't ask me how

no I don't care
where you go from here
and long as you leave
and take all your gear

I changed all the lock
so you can't come back
don't forget anything
not even one sack

it's out to the curb
with the rest of the stuff
the things that are grimey
the things that are gruff

take if you want
I don't need it from you
take what is your
every last shoe

is that your last
I sure hope it is
I'm closing the door
on all that was his

it's time to move on
and start my new life
without so much pain
without so much strife

so into the world
a great new fun task
without having to wear
a silly old mask

free to have fun
free to be me
free to go out
and see what I see

so to my old world
I bid adieu
and never again
will I think of you
