Concrete Angel

She was abused and misused
Little girl with a big bruise
That only the angels cared for
Helping open up her closed doors

She never showed her hurt
Never through words
Still stood tall
Young and strong
Even when they did her wrong
In a world she can't overcome
Dreaming of a better place

Mother addicted to drugs
Never had a girl cried so much
In the night when the neighbors heard
They turned out the lights
Never saying a word

The teacher noticed but didn't make a sound
Even when the rumors went around
The black marks on her arm
Told of all the harm
But what was she to do

One boy to change her fate
Comfort her before it was too late
Put a smile on that dim face
Guide her to the light

That night
Mom was mad
Mad about something she didn't have
So the girl took the pain
Her mother was blamed
And the girl put to her grave

Though she was dead
And her mother in jail
She was with people who cared now
The angels that walk with us
Only seen by those who know
The pain
