THE FORGOTTEN CHILDREN

We need to
Be the voices
Of children everywhere,
Alone, abandoned,
With bruises
It seems that 
No-one cares.

Their abusers
Keep them silent
With threats,
Their bodies shake,
Feelings kept
Inside themselves
Their smiles,
They always fake.

Words that hurt
So deeply
Destroys their
Self-esteem,
Shame they feel
Inside themselves
In their minds
Is where they scream.


We are the
FORGOTTEN CHILDREN
Please Stand Up
And fight for us
Help take away
The monsters from hell
Who abuse
Us in every way.
Secrets so deep
Never to be told
They lived it
Every day,
These are the
FORGOTTEN CHILDREN
 Scream out
Please shout and pray.

Pray that we
Can save them
From a life of
Horrendous abuse,
To set them free
And guide them
It's up to us,
There's no excuse.

Each day one child
Will die alone
From their wounds
Inside and out,
Scars so deep,
With bodies broke
From their abuse,
There is no doubt.

We are the
FORGOTTEN CHILDREN
Please Stand Up
And fight for us
Help take away
The monsters from hell
Who abuse
Us in everywhere.
  
Remember all
Children everywhere
Protection is
What they need,
Broken, alone
And frightened
From the abusers
Dirty deeds.

                                   I write these words,
For all children small
And that little
Girl in me,
Silenced then,
But not any more
I will keep shouting
To help set them free.

We are the
FORGOTTEN CHILDREN
Please Stand Up
And fight for us
Help take away
The monsters from hell
Who abuse
Us in everyway.
