Days are long
Nights a lonely song
Blades are her escape
As she fits in, in no place
Darkened room is her safety place
Liquor is her way to forget the hurt space
She wishes on every star
Yet her dreams seem so far
No one is there
No one understands
They say get over it
They dont comprehend
Black and blue fades
The fear always remains
She cries every night
No one knows why music is her life
She heals as she writes
Looking out the window seal praying for light
Shes looking into a place where she never belonged
She always wished she would find where that place is
No family
No friends
Its just her and her kids
Trying to help them forget what they witnessed
As she tries to forget being the victim
She gives them everything shes got
Her love shows in so many ways
Yet so does the stress on her thats weighed
She writes what she hears and sees
She writes to be an escapee
Some true
Some thoughts
Thoughts in which keep her from sleep
Sleep which she is awakened every hour
By the nightmares of abuse
Which everyone knew how she was getting used
They say she did it to herself
She says she survived what most couldn't
She overcame something she shouldn't
Wishes on stars now coming true
A brand new beginning
A brand new life to pursue
The love in her kids eyes kept her alive
Everyday she fought to survive
A battle of many wars
No more pain
Now shes saine
No more darkened rooms
The light has filled all the rooms
No longer on the floor
No more crying out "please no more"
On top of the world
Shes as precious as an ocean pearl
She made it through many storms
As you can if you never give up
