The Moment

The moment she couldn’t speak up
The moment she was afraid

The moment no-one listened
To a word she had to say
The moment no one heard her voice
And nothing could be saved

The moment she had flashbacks
The moment she had dismissed

The moment she went inward
Hiding from the world
The moment she was a victim
As an innocent young girl

This world makes me angry

Its no joke
That’s a real person
How can you laugh
That’s a real person
What’s the matter with you
That’s a real person
Broken and bruised
So messed up
That’s a real person
Screaming for help

The moment she felt nothing
The moment she gave up

The moment she stopped eating
Making herself sick
The moment she was pretending
To find somewhere to fit

The moment she felt dizzy
From episodes of vertigo

The moment no one gave a shit
To ask if she’s ok
The moment no one noticed
An angel sick in pain

This world makes me angry

Its no joke
That’s a real person
In pain
How can you laugh
That’s a real person
On the edge
What’s the matter with you
That’s a real person
Broken and bruised
So messed up
That’s a real person
That’s a real person
That’s a real person
