My Inner Soul Still Strugglin
inner soul still strugglin'....
clothes torn
child's scorn
forced embrace
slapping my face
alcohol smell in my nose
mouth held closed

kick out of the house forced to marry
burdens i carry
not safe at home or school or church
at eighteen years age this was a bit much
no one to talk to so i begin to rebel
though i never went to jail
my mother took my son away
and she reminded of early motherhood each day
at twenty i settled down, started working a grocery store
only see the monster that molested me more and more
he stalked me until i quit that job
...filled with fears and thoughts of my childhood being robbed
attempting to move on and be all that i could be

low self esteem
the world against me it seemed
this memory will never end
because my inner soul is still strugglin'...
