I Am Stronger

I am stronger.... You smile at me, Then give a great sigh. You raise your hand, And soon make me cry. You say I'm not worthy, I'm a bloody disgrace. You solve all these issues, With a punch to my face. I have bled, I have lied, I have ached in my heart. I have covered the bruises, Torn my whole life apart. Then come the words, The sorries, the tears. The begging, the pleading, The guilt and the fears. But now I am stronger, I have left all that pain. I have left you, you bastard, You won't hit me again. STOP DOMESTIC ABUSE.
