This my view of a burdened child...
"It's a Beautiful Day"
The sun is shining, it's a beautiful day
I wish I had a friend who'd invite me out to play.
I look from inside and ask the Lord "why me?"
I'm really the same as them, just want to be free.
Do they not know my heart beats the same as theirs
No matter what I say or do it seems no one really cares.
The pain I feel daily is so hard to take
but I know leaving here would be a big mistake.
My wounds do not bleed but will take a lifetime to heal
Do they not understand what they've taken was not theirs to steal.
It's now late at night and I should be sleeping
but all I hear is Daddy yelling and my Mommy softly weeping.
It's not only kids who are bullies and hurt us so,
it can be husbands, parents, even teachers you know.
All I ask for is love and to try and fit in
You don't know what I've gone through or where I've been.
I only pray sometime I can meaningly say
"The sun is shining, and it's a beautiful day"
