Defenceless

I can't defend myself
I'm small with no voice-relying on your voice
To speak for me, maybe whisper words of comfort
A hug would be nice instead of your anger
Falling around my shoulders

I can't prevent you from hurting me
And all the others you've chosen to hurt
My cries anger you more but I don't know how to stop
I know where I'm headed, with all the others

I can't defend myself
From you killing me and tossing my body
With all the others that you've ripped life from
I can only pray that one day someone will be our voice
And make you pay for the death of
Young helpless children
