Subjected to cruelity,
left out in the dark and cold.
We try to figure where we fit,
trying to break the mold.

Eyes tightly shut,
not wanting things to unfold.
Seeking to ease the pain,
impossible for truth to be told.

Many people leaving our sides,
we seek to numb that pain.
But we must stay strong together,
not let our experiences be in vain.

Let us join together as one,
lift up one another when down.
Promises to make and keep,
no longer with a frown.

So dig down deep,
find the courage to carry on.
Be the person you are,
break the mask and end the con.
