Crying in the Night

Aren't you watching?

Curled up in bed so tight,

scared of mom and dad.

A roof over her head,

clothes on her back

2 meals a day,

that's all she needs

right?

But no one loves her

no one holds her

No one sees her eyes

crying in the night.

Don't you see?

The cuts on her arm

a testimony of her pain,

she increases the number

no one will care if she's dead.

No one was there for her

no one to witness her

crying in the night.

Why don't you act?

Lying out on the ground

nowhere else to sleep.

A child and beggar,

like everyone else here.

People with no one to provide

No one to embrace them

just crying in the night,

Why don't you act?

No one needs to see it

No one would even care

No one would listen

Even if he dared

No one wanted to see

his crying in the night

Will anyone see?

living in poverty

not their fault

parents trying

children wanting to live

no one to help

only crying in the night

Why don't you care?

Staring at the grave,

he was too late.

No one to comfort him,

No one to take his hand.

No one to dry his eyes

crying in the night.
