She Needs To Know

She Needs To Know

By Paul McCann

We all know she’s got problems ,

She’s still a baby its clear to see

But there’s only so much we can do ,

She’s left in the care of others

and in a situation where she’s

getting beaten black and blue .

Some days she wants to run away but she’s no where to go

and she can’t even walk yet by herself .

She needs help and therapy and on going support   

from the community and mental health .

She has somebody who kicks and punches her

And needs protection before some real damage is done  .

She has to put  up with all of the abuse ,

She can’t talk or fight back and she is still very young .

She is innocent .

She doesn’t know there is help out there .

She doesn’t know there are people who care .

She needs to know who she can trust and who  

Can help and she needs to know there is a safe place for her .
