I'm Ok
Once upon a time there was a girlin her early years she had to learnhow to grow up living in a war that she called homenever knew just where to turn for shelter from the stormhurt me to see the pain across my mothers faceeverytime my father's fist would put her in her placehearing all the yelling I would cry up in my roomhoping it would be over soon
Brusies fade father but the pain remains the sameand I still remember how you kept me so afraidthe strength is my mother for all the love she gaveevery morning that I wake I look back at yesterdayand I'm ok
I often wonder why I've carried all this guiltwhen it's you that hepled me put up all these walls I've builtshadows stir at night through a crack in the doorthe echoes of a broken child screaming please no moredaddy 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 neckwhen I was thrown against cold stairsand everyday afraid to come home in fear of what I might see next
Brusies fade father but the pain remains the sameand I still remember how you kept me so afraidthe strength is my mother for all the love she gaveevery morning that I wake I look back at yesterdayand I'm ok
