Never Again

Sometimes waking up can be so hard to 
do,
Especially when I am dreaming of you.
My innocents you stole,
And denied it you were on a roll.
You did it to me almost every night
Eventually I gave up the fight.
You would keep on doing it to me anyway,
No matter what I would say.
I wanted you to leave me alone,
Instead you touched me like I was grown.
I just wanted to be a child,
Instead I grew up wild.
I had so many dreams for my life,
Instead I'm fighting to get through this 
strife.
You made me feel so weak,
So my drugs I did seek.
I have been clean for 4 years,
And with it came a lot of tears.
But I have found that I am really strong,
And everything you did was wrong.
I am finally starting to heal,
And my innocents you can never again 
steal!
