Legacy of Child Abuse
Awake

letting go of the past
sick of being hurt
sick of this pain

my soul is a shining light
my soul is on a troubled flight
and I can't find my way home

my heart scratches on closed doors
my heart wants up from the floor
and I am sick of being kicked back down

like a flea ridden dog left out in the street
like a child who knows its about to be beat
I look to the future with anger

Take my memories and trash them
Kill the pain just not my passion
For this beautiful adventure called life

Open the door and let me out!
Open this door or I will shout
This haunted house down!

Let me free to live in my own garden
Let me free to leave you hanging
To the cord of your own hell

For that is what you are to me
Thanks for not aborting me
Though daddy I know you tried

And mommy everything you say is a lie
You would crush the life out of me given a
second chance

and sadly I have given it to you
but I am taking it back
Adieu!
