I'Ll Be Alright

I’ll be alright Gashes on my forehead Sweeping my hair to cover it up Sister seen it with fear I held her and said I’ll be alright Blows to the chest Drowning me in my bed Hold my 3mth old next to me Whispering I’ll be alright Fist fights Late night scares Getting beat to the ground Holding my bottle of liquor Slurring I’ll be alright Dragging my face on the ground Spitting disgustingly at my feet Missing jewelry But always have a smile on my face Tearing I’ll be alright 2 years free of physical abuse Fracture sternum Torn/rupture disc Slight loss of memory Still in pain But I hope I’ll be alright Expressing my pain Loving my life Still hurts to explain But damn it Im alright
