Don'T Look Back
People say I'm strong
But i was once weak,
Abused all day long
Not allowed to speak.
Survivor i may be
Over my shoulder i still look,
I was the victim you see
My happiness he took.
You soon learn reality
You open your eyes,
I never wanted pity
I never wished for his lies.
Years i carried the guilt
Only one step at a time,
My life now rebuilt,
Yes I'm allowed to shine.
No longer a bruise in sight
No longer a broken bone,
No longer scared of the night
No longer all alone.
I used to have a reason to cry
I now have a reason to smile,
Im no longer with that bad guy
My life now worthwhile.
My children now feel secure
They may only have me,
Happiness forever more
From violence we are free.
It's time to move on now
People say I'm strong,
Abuse i no longer allow
I can speak, i belong!
