Once upon a time in a sick twisted world

Is the story of a mother and her sad little girl

They lived all alone in a tiny little town

Her mom seemed real nice, but when no one was around

She really tried to hurt her

Poisoned her with curses

The girl came to school with scratches down her arms

With bruises on her face, and pain inside her heart

She really loved her mom, but often wondered why

She made it seem as though she wanted her to die

She caused so much destruction

It was really hard to function

She told her friends that she'd fallen down the stairs

She'd crashed her rollerblades and skinned her knees bare

She made so much excuses, told so many stories

Finally one day, her friends began to worry

They knew how she treated her

Knew her mother beat on her

They went to the police and told about their friend

How the punishing, the beating never seemed to end

The cops would do nothing but turn their backs away

They said that they were sorry, they had no say

"But her mom is gonna hurt her!"

"She's going to get murdered!"

"I'm sorry girls, but there's nothing we can do

And if I say so myself, you really have no proof"

The next day the girl was terrified again

"Why's my mother hate me, when will it end?"

There was nothing they would tell her

They'd really tried to help her

But one day the girl never showed up at school

Her friends tried to call her, no answer - not cool

They couldn't get ahold of her all day or night

Something was unnatural, something wasn't right

"I wonder what has happened?"

"Where the hell is my friend?"

They finally heard the truth, but found it hard to believe

The girl had fought with her mom, then tried to run and leave

But before she had the chance, her mother grabbed a knife

She knocked her to the ground and took her daughter's life

How could someone slaughter

Their very own daughter?

Don't think that this can't happen to you

If someone you know is being abused

Don't think that there is nothing you can do

You can save their life by telling someone...
