Black & Blue

Black & Blue

Don’t come up from behind…     
                 Because you will only find…        
I either Hurt you…                        Or I cower in Fear…
That much is clear…                     Please don’t Shout…
I just Freak out…                     Do not call me names…
That was one of his traits…          When will you see?                         What happened to me?

As you can see this is how it all came to be…
                What someone can carry inside…
Can be so Scary…                           But Believe this…    
                               It is True…         
Or you will just always be left Black and Blue…
                                      Stay away from those men…             
Who Hurt you again and again…        
                          They will Never Change…     
It will always be Strange…
                           For the Power they have over you…
                       You Sadly Believe…             
No one will ever have a clue…
                 What it is like to be you…    
                       Always’s left Black and Blue
