BELIEVING

She used to hear them fighting in the room next door

And she could never understand

One time she even thought it was her fault

And she hoped they weren't too mad

She used to sit on the floor and cover her ears

Trying to block the noise

And even though the words weren't there

She could still feel the hurt

She used to close her eyes and wish

That things wouldn't always be this way

That daddy would hold her and mommy close

And not hit them everyday

She used to wonder how daddy could leave

Without even a goodbye

Her mommy tried to tell her that things would be okay

But long ago she stopped believing

And she just wants to fly away
