Madagascar

She slips away
With her torn skin,
Damaged goods,
Used and abused,
Long forgotten,
Hurting for a long time.

A family dying,
Their hearts cannot keep up,
A useless faith
Burned and scarred,
Doing anything to survive,
Selling themselves,
Lost for a long time,
Lost for a long time.

Her father breaking his back
For a couple of pennies,
Her mother following brutal orders,
Their souls are torn,
She slips away
To her secret place,
She comforts abuse
And intercourse,
She's been lost for a long time.

No one seems to care,
But the family doesn't know better,
Needles and drugs
Keep them safe,
Broken nails and internal bleeding,
Ruthless beatings
And improper medication,
You live and you die young,
Seems like yesterday, was life good?
She's been lost for a long time.

Beatings, batons,
Cursing, casualties,
Dying, disease,
Prostitute, pessimistic,
Murder and massacres.
