Cant Escape My Past
once I was scared and alone
chills were running through my bones
from the thoughts I'd never find
a way to leave my past behind
there was no way to excuse
all the horror and abuse
I was put through as a child
now my mind is running wild
will there ever finally be
a place and time that I can see
a future sunny and bright
shining a more hopeful light
on a soul that wants to fly
but no matter how I try
I can not forget the way
you never truly could display
any kind of love emotion
turning me into a frozen
shell that's distant icy and cold
praying I can just unfold
what was done and make me feel
joy and pleasure that is real
