She sits in the sewers, hiding away from the world.
A forgotten face lost within herself, her body bent over and her legs curled.
Where she is nobody can hurt her anymore.
She's been through hell before.
All she smells is musky drainage pipes.
In the darkness, she lives and hoping one day for light.
She's been taken advantage of from everyone she meets.
One day after another it so repeats.
All she wants is to finally find peace.
She begs everyday for some little change to eat, don't walk by her please!
You will see her covered up in her own filth from head to toe.
A woman everyone most probably knows.
She has been around town a time or two.
Crawling under ground where her safety only grew.
Down there nobody will tell her what to do.
Down under is her home and safe haven to.
