These are my reasons
Hidden in the darkness
Hidden from the world
Hidden from what matters most
Hidden from what she love most
Taken from the things she loves
Taken from the people she loves
Taken from the little things that bring joy
Reprimanded for doing what she loves
Reprimanded for being who she is
Reprimanded for not being good enough
Reprimanded for trying to be good
Used for her skills
Used for her abilities
Used for being so open
Lied to because she's a kid
Sought out for the secrets she keeps
Hit around cause they feel like it
Afraid because she doesn't wan to be like her parents
Protective because she won't hurt others
Talented because she has faith and can do good
Helped because everyone needs a hug
Held because everyone needs a shoulder to cry on
Cared for because of her heart of gold
And loved because when she's around her friends, she's the person she wants to be, but then again she doesn't want to be anything but that, and prove the world she's worth something
