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.
