LITTLE GIRL LOST

                              LITTLE GIRL LOST

Over in the corner, she sits all alone
waiting for someone to come and take her home
she doesn't remember where she was yesterday
she remembers the pain, but not the way.

She's only fourteen and a woman full grown
trying to fight for a life of her own
she's tired and she feels so sad
she dreams of the good life she never had

Hopes and dreams shattered on the floor
a hard awakening with the slamming of the door
no one cares how she looks or how she feels
she looks in her pocket for a handful of pills

Sitting alone, no one seems to see her strife
a little girl lost in a fantasy life
liquor and pills keep her forever there
until her mind is gone, she doesn't care

She cries for help, but no one will come
only her pills can keep her lost and numb
she slowly falls upon the ground and cries
and that is where she sadly stays and dies.
