How Can I Help Her?

So much pain I feel inside
I try not to show it, but sometimes it’s hard to hide
I feel like no one understands how I feel
I don’t know how to explain it, my life is so surreal.

At the age of five, my innocence was taken away
I thought he was there to protect me, but I was betrayed
What were you thinking? Why did you do it, Dad?
These are the answers I wish I had

All these years I carried the guilt and the shame
I wonder now, will I ever get through this?
Will I ever be the same?

I’m trying to live a normal life
Away from all this pain and strife

I only want to be happy again
Someone tell me how to heal the little girl within
