The Lonely Child

The lonely child is one unheard, unseen and unloved

She's in the world all alone, with no one to hear her cries for help

She is the one who acts out in class just to have someone there for a second

Even if she's getting into trouble

 

The lonely child is one of many

Many children out on their own in the world

Looking for love and care around every corner

Looking in every place, in everyone

 

The lonely child only wishes for one thing

The thing she never got 

She only wants to be found

Found among the others to be loved

 

The lonely child

The one all alone

The one unloved
