Young

I was so young, Always dealing with the lsah of your tongue. You should have known not to lean on me, I was just a child, why didn't you see? All you ever saw was your pain, Did you ever stop to think it was something I would gain? You never though of anyone, What about your other daughter and only son? Everything was so wrong as a child, I can't even remember when I smiled. I loved you like I was supposed to, But it was to hard for you to follow through. You beat me with a frying pan, I never even had the chance to gain a battle plan. I'm safe and secure now, But when I was a kid, This was something you wouldn't allow. Things for me are now different, I can keep me and my family distant. I no longer have to take your abuse, For what you've done there is no excuse. So as an adult I can walk away, And live my life day to day.
