Broken Wing

Looking back on my past
The years have flown by so very fast.
Being with a boy who i thought was the 1
Having a baby so very young.

Thats when my nightmares really started,
But didn't want my little family parted
Trying hard to make this work,
But how can i when he is such a jerk.

He was acting more like a baby
I was crying out for something to save me.
Battered bruised verbally abused
Laying crying feeling used.

Till one day i finally snapped,
I walked out that door didn't look back
Couldn't believe i had just dun it
Hes the fool and looks the Muppet

Im so much stronger than ever before
and life just got better from closing that door.
