The eyes of a child
Laying in the grass watching all the shapes of the clouds
She sees elephants
She runs and plays, and laughs, and smiles
The child has come across a man
he smiles, she smiles
she talks and tells him about her day
Walking in the halls
She looks at the ground
no one to look at or trust
she grabs her bag fast
ready to leave the school
She's marked for life and destined to hate life
15 year old Barbara has two kids
does drugs
"i don't care" she says
since ten years ago
that man took the eyes of a child away
