Where is my child,
She has run far away from here,
Can’t bear the constant conflict,
all the fighting words that are too harsh to hear,

Where has my child gone,
why does she cry when others smile-
how can her mother see past her sadness,
and remain ignorant in denial,

Where is my child,
why must she run away,
Incapable of bearing the incessant pain of her own skin
for another single day.

Where has my child gone,
I’ve lost myself to a family of destruction and tortured myself with hate,
please don’t tell me that I’ve lost my little sister,
It mustn’t be too late.
