Memories

You think I don't remember all the nights of endless yelling The fighting and the bickering it seemed like there was never an ending I know you don't know but I remember it all The beatings you took as he pulled you up and down the hall I hated you for not leaving him you could of made things better But no you stayed with that jerk and we had to suffer When you finally did it I didn't exactly let you know then But I saw something change in you I think you knew you didn't let him win I know you say you did it for us but there was also a part of it You had to do for yourself to know never again he would have the last hit You've went from a woman who only struggled with her sins To the mother I can only strive everyday to have half the pride she carries with in You've shown me that I can conquer anything that is thrown my way So I'm waiting, I'm ready come what may So if you think you can control me sorry you better think again Cause now I know I don't have to stay shes taught me that I can win
