Wandering and wandering alone for so long
I didn\'t understand something was wrong
Slap after slap, I wish I\'d known how come
Bruise after bruise, I wished I was numb
Their yelling was more than I could take
Always so loud it caused me to shake
My fear was all I had all along
I feared the violence would be lifelong
Reaching out for help for income
Scorning and yelling were my outcome
Abuse would be my theme song
Felt like hours went on for so long
I couldn\'t stand how id become
Beaten and worn like a bass drum
It took years for me to break
All the sleeping pills were a mistake
I was weak not strong
I could never belong
With a family that abandoned me for so long
