Leaving

My bags are packed Memories strike me at the door Abused and scorned Love supposedly from the heart ripped and torn Heartaches and headaches Give and take Nights of laying awake Praying to God to keep me safe all for my sake Love lost and nothing else gained Swinging of the hands and swearing of the mouth causing nothing but pain Happiness was taken away from me I couldn't be the kid I always wanted to be I felt alone and all by myself Without God, there was me and no one else These walls tell so much It hurts to the depth of my soul with just one touch This was something I kept bottled in All because I didn't want to be judged by my friends It was because I was ashamed Why was I when I wasn' t the one to blame? This will always be the broken part of my heart That will always tear me down and apart This has caused me to not know how love feels and suppose to be Cause this has done nothing but permanently damage me Finally I'm moving out No more hiding what these scars are about To speak the truth, I was just another teen statistic But I pray that no other child has to go through it Now free, I can go out and share my story About the damage that was brought on to me I no longer have to lay at night afraid to go to sleep Being scared of what may be done to me Free at last Free at last Thank God Almighty, I am free at last!!!!
