Once upon a time there was a girl In her early years she had to learn How to grow up living in a war that she called home Never knew just where to turn from the storm It hurt me to see the pain cross my mothers face Everytime my fathers fist would put her in her place Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room Hoping it would be over soon
Bruises fade father but the pain remains the same And I still remember how you keeped me so affraid Strenghth is my mother for all the love she gave Everymorning that I wake I look back at yesterday And I'm ok
I oten wounder why I carried all this guilt When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built Shadows stir at night through a crask in the door The echoes of a broken child screaming please no more Daddy don't you understand the damage you have done For you it's just a memory but for me it still lives on
It's not so easy to forget, all the marks you left along her neck When I was thrown against cold stairs And everyday afraid to come home in fear of what I might see, next.
