Anselma House - A shelter for abused women and their children.

- INNOCENCE -

Does it make you feel like a man, to hurt a small child
Does it make you feel good inside, to destroy such innocence
Does it make you feel powerful, to prey on the powerless
Does it make you feel strong, to strip them of childhood
Does it make you feel proud, to scar them for life.

Does it make you feel gratified, to shatter their dreams
Do you get your small pleasures, from causing them tears
Does it feel satisfying, to rob them of laughter
Does it make you feel dominant, to push till they break.

Does it make you feel something, or do you feel nothing at all
Do you have a conscious, or do you never think twice
And when you look in the mirror, do you like what you see
Because through the eyes of a child, you are a true monster.

Do you feel guilty inside, or does sleep come easy by night
Don't you know that the child lies awake cause of nightmares,
Afraid to close their eyes, in fear of seeing your face.

What gives you the right, to ruin the life of a child
Who's soul is so pure, like that of an angel
But what do you care, you just take what's not yours
You steal their young lives and leave them in pieces.

Do you ever sit and wonder, how the effect of your tortures
Will haunt them forever, like a never ending nightmare
For you sacrifice their purity, to satisfy your insanity
Extinguishing their flames, before they'd had a chance to burn.

But now I have grown from a child filled with fear
To a woman filled with pure will in her heart,
The will to survive all the pain that you've caused
To heal all the scars you left as your mark.

And despite what you've done, I'll rise above and beyond you
With the knowledge that you, are now powerless against me
For truth be told, you're not a man but a coward
And forever you will remain, nothing more, nothing less.
