No fairly tale childhood,
No suburban dream life.
No happily ever after,
Is ever in sight.
In rough seas with no anchors or oars to help steer.
They bounce through their lives with pain and with fear.
But they get up each day as  they have no choice.
Because a lifetime of pain has stolen their voice.
Love or help is nowhere to be found.
So, into themselves, they just quietly drown.
Away from the chatter, they retreat, and they heal.
From the hurt and the pain that the world makes them feel.
And upwards, they rise with their heads held high.
To survive another day and reach for the sky. 
Their wings are all tattered and dirty within,
They know that in this life, they won’t always win.
And as they wait  patiently for love to arrive.
This world will not beat them.
They were born to survive.
