Lost & Found

Trying to find a self I didn't know I had, until you stole it from me before I had,
The chance to know it existed
The innocence I was unaware of, without a chance to acknowledge it faded,
Into an eternal rest, so jaded
Years upon years, I kept my silence, just because I was afraid, ashamed, abused and misused
Naive... I was NOT A STATISTIC... at least that's what my mind said to my heart
Not this little girl who's heart was filled with joy, once upon a time
Not this child who only needed love, just to get by
Confusion phased  me, it felt like I was in the wrong, while you were the right
Self destruction was what I'd lead to if I didn't let you have your way
But the more I took, the older I got somehow God found a way
To open my eyes
Maybe it's how you treated her...hurt me, but don't you dare lay a hand on her
My pain, my sadness, my life
All controlled by a mere man who thought he was God
But the real Father provided me with will power and strength to carry on
And that was all I needed to find my way, to a place I'd call lost and found
The lost girl found her way to the innocence that was rightfully hers... rightfully mine
