Bruised Beaten Broken and Torn
Sometimes wishing never to be born
Throat sore from yelling
Eyes raw from tears
Welcome to 12 years
That i will never get back
They were my family
This is true
But what do i get from you
Scars
Memories
That make tears burn my eyes
We were family
You were like my parents
Yet one thing different
From almost every other
I was abused
Mentally
Emotionally
Scarred for life
By role models
People who helped raise me
To be who i am
Not knowing who i am
Hiding deep inside
From the outside world
Not showing my eyes
And what lies beneath the innocent blue
Struggling
Taking blows day by day
Now wanting to feel this way
Its cruel
What one mistake can do to you
When its not even your fault
Waiting to be healed is your only hope
Feeling normal again
May not return
The memories still linger
Waiting to burn
