Blackened Heart

Let's talk about what I don't want you to know The things that hurt, the ones I never want to show. They've stuck in my mind and blackened my heart Its only logical to go to the rape and start. A day I found how evil man can truly be With a knife to my throat no more than 13 and he forced him self on me. Its time for these things to come out Its been eating my soul, I no longer want to shout. In an house fire I was badly burned A drugged up parents fault I later learned. An absent father and a drunken violent step dad The school bullies teased me for the things I never had. Trusting people I've never been able to do I thought everyone was capable of the things I been through. Evil triumphed and took my innocence away Sometimes I want revenge, I want them to pay. This is just the times I was innocent, there is a lot more I'm just telling you the things I didn't bring to my door. I needed to get this out before my hearts as black as coal I needed to forgive, if only for my own soul.
