Can you see what lies in the eyes of a child?
Can you see what pain hides in the heart?
What fear lays in wait in the soul?
Childhood is supposed to be a moment in time
A time to learn and grow
It is supposed to be a time of hope and joy
Yet for many it is a time of rejection and hate
Can you see the scars that have been left behind
Can you see where the monsters lurk
Can you see the bleeding and the hurt
Bandages won't cover it
Antibiotics won't cure it
Only time and real love can begin to uncover it
The slaps and the beatings
The frowns and the words
The touches that should have never been
The dreams crushed under foot
Can you see through the horror to the person that could be
Can you find the dream inside this maze that used to be me?
