Trying so hard to be perfect
Wanting, needing, being
Pain buries deep inside
Why can't you see the tears I cry?
Emotions overwhelm this broken heart
Doing everything by the book
You allowed him to abuse, and hurt me
Scars on my wrist that will never leave
Memories haunt, and burn like fire inside
Nightmares run there cycles, and leave fear
Please tell me that my life isn't real
Maybe one day I'll wake up -
Finding this all to be a dream
Friends picking up and holding me
Making the bitter pain go away
This road of life has been so very hard
For some reason I'm still here and alive
Many times trying to take my own life
Each time failing, not really understanding why
You may not accept and love me as your child
However, so many other people have
Because of them -
I am able to spread my wings and fly
