Turn it Around
As she looks into the mirror she doesn't like what she sees
She sees an insecure little girl with a heart that bleeds
Well I don't know how long it'll take this little girl to mature
Cause no one knows what that child had to endure
They don't know that she was molested until the age of 10
Or that she never had anyone to love her or be her true best friend
That don't know that this girl has no father in her life
Or that the only way she releases her pain is by slitting her wrist with a knife
They didn't even notcie the blue and black bruises on her arm
Or the fact that she never really mentioned her mom
But since they don't know her story they judge and criticize
They don't see how it hurts her all the humiliation and the lies
They scorn her with hurtful whore and slut
Not realizing that they're only deepening the cuts
They don't see that she has no respect for herself
Or that she'll lay with anyone so she won't be by herself
And oops, she slipped up and now she's pregnant
16 & Pregnant is not what she intended
But what can she do now, she has no type of family
She wants to fly away, but Dang there's that gravity
Just leave and not worry about one single thing
Suicide is the next thought on her brain
Escape from all the hurt, tribulations, and the trails
She's only 16 how can she take care of a child
She's a baby herself, "Don't you smell the residue of formula still on her breath!"
So to get away she pops a couple pills
Infatuated with the relief and the numbness she feels
Black out, Code Red, the game is through
Now she's barely hanging on in ICU
Then a voice cries out and gently it speaks
Your time's not up, that's up to me
9 months later, she's back again
But this times she's there to give birth to her new bestfriend
She's pushing and yelling to bring it into the world
How beautiful a precious baby girl
As she holds her in her arms she begins to weep
I'm going to turn my life around and that's for you and me she speaks
