Beat by dad since I was four-
Picked myself up off the floor.
Helped my mom, he beat her too.
What was a small child to do?

The main target at my school
Bullied by those who were "cool"
Anger building up inside.
How could I salvage any pride.

Walking with my head held low
Feeling I had no where to go
All my life Ive been pounded
Yet it all has kept me grounded.

Men have used me all my life
Not seeing it cuts like a knife
Swinging fists and throwing jabs
Controlling me and keeping tabs

But I am free I wont go back
To a world thats bitter and black.
Im who I am cuz I made it thru
And I wont take that shit from you

Its over- theres no time to pout
So take your insecure ass on out
No more weakness here to feed you
Im strong now and I dont need you.

Hateful words and hurtful ways
Your painful hold has seen its days.
Breaking free I'll fly so high
Cuz now Im telling you goodbye.

Keep your walls readied, but not too high to see! You're a
survivor....nice piece!

ALL RIGHT GURL!!! Knows this feeling well and I can say no one will ever
do this again to me, good to know another survivor. Kick ass words!!

Thanks guys- There is power in words!!
Your words make me strong.
Thanks
