My Life

surrounded by walls no where to go walls are closing in no more air flow no one can hear you like your never there no one can help no one is there kicking and screaming yelling for help mom sits and watches while dad grabs his belt mom doesn't say anything until dad leaves she doesn't care at least I didn't believe this always happened every single night mom just sat and watched without putting up a fight going to school with new bruises every day teachers always asked I blew their help away knowing if I told it would only get worse begging on my knees for him not to immerse just laying there as time passed by watching myself get beat I just thought to myself one day I'll be back on my feet the time had finally come many years after I finally stood up for myself it never happened thereafter

Cortni, this too often happens...maybe to make us stronger, I don't know...or know what not to do later.....don't let grudges rule and ruin your happy life.
