Abuse

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
